The library plays an active role in furthering online archiving of scientific and historical documents. It provides stewardship and partial funding for [[arXiv|arXiv.org e-print archive]], created at [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]] by [[Paul Ginsparg]]. arXiv has changed the way many physicists and mathematicians communicate, making the [[eprint]] a viable and popular form for announcing new research.

The [[Project Euclid]] initiative, named after [[Euclid]] of [[Alexandria]], is a resource joining commercial journals with low-cost independent journals in mathematics and statistics. The project is aimed at enabling affordable scholarly communication through the Internet. Besides archival purposes, a primary goal of the project is to facilitate journal searches and interoperability between different publishers.

The Cornell Library Digital Collections are online collections of historical documents. Featured collections include the Database of African-American Poetry, the Historic Math Book Collection, the Samuel May Anti-Slavery Collection, the Witchcraft Collection, and the Donovan Nuremberg Trials Collection.
