The optical media items consist of about 13372 digital folders and 85314 digital files, dating from 1990 to 2015, and primarily consist of DVDs containing Piglia's computer backups. The majority of the files consist of Word and PDF documents containing various drafts by Piglia; notes; corrections; correspondence; academic and teaching files, including numerous files from Piglia's tenure at Princeton University; documents related to conferences, presentations, trips; and others. Also included are various JPEG files, including images of Piglia participating in the second Encuentro Nacional de Bibliotecas Populares, and black-and-white images included in a DVD labeled, "Fotos MdP. Archivo Barili + Familia Piglia."

Titles are taken from handwritten labels. Disk and optical media numbers refer to the order in which the imaging was attempted. Disk001 and optical008 were unsuccessfully imaged, but may be added in the future if a solution is found. Optical010 is a duplicate and was not imaged.
