By donating U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s extensive papers to Harvard Law School on Monday, the Scalia family is giving his alma mater a unique challenge: preserving his digital as well as paper documents.

“It is a safe guess” that this will be the first collection of a justice’s papers that includes a large number of emails and digital documents, said Jocelyn Kennedy, executive director of Harvard Law School Library, after the announcement Monday.
