A repository is literally a container or, in a digital environment, a virtual library of materials that are born digital. In higher and further education institutions, digital learning objects, research documents and other assets, which have been born digital may be stored in an institutional repository.

Issues around archiving such materials, ensuring that they continue to remain available when software and hardware devices are changing, remains an area of professional interest and research.
