A '''Digital Assets Repository''' (DAR) is used to store all types of digital material and provides public access to the digitized collections through web-based search and browsing facilities.

The Digital Assets Repository (DAR) was developed by the [[International School of Information Science]] (ISIS) to create and maintain the Library digital collections. DAR acts as a repository for all types of digital material (obtained from the Library or acquired from other sources), preserving and archiving digital media, and providing public access to digitized collections through web-based search and browsing facilities. A digitization laboratory was built for this purpose at the [[Bibliotheca Alexandrina]]. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies for digitizing different types of material including slides in multiple formats, negatives, books, manuscripts, pictures and maps, audio, and video.
