Access will be provided to use copies of unrestricted digital files rather than carrier media, such as CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. Some or all electronic files may be unavailable or restricted due to privacy reasons, agreement with the donor, software is not available to interact with files, or because files cannot be retrieved from original media.

The Fund for Animals (FFA) was an animal welfare organization founded in 1967 by Cleveland Amory, a prominent animal right activist. The FFA aimed to protect animals through advocacy, rescue, and rehabilitation. The organization also worked on the prevention of cruelty and abuse through its educational and outreach programs. To achieve its goals, the FFA was filed several lawsuits against the cruelty and abuse towards animals. In 2005, the FFA had a corporate merger with the HSUS.
