Steve Jobs may no longer be with us but his legacy certainly is.

And Tuesday, the public will gain further access to the tech icon's inner workings.

More than a decade after the Apple founder's death, The Steve Jobs Archive is set to publish "Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs In His Own Words," a curated digital collection of Jobs' speeches, correspondence and interviews.

Jobs died in 2011 after a bout with pancreatic cancer. The tech icon was 56.

The idea is that the book will "inspire readers to make their own 'wonderful somethings' that move the world forward," the Archive said in a statement on its website.

"In the pages of this book, Steve shares his perspective on his childhood, on launching and being pushed out of Apple, on his time with Pixar and NeXT, and on his ultimate return to the company that started it all," the Archive said.

According to the Washington Post, the book exists on the spectrum between a scrapbook and a memoir. It includes some of the images that have never been seen by the public before.

The book includes an introduction from Jobs' wife Laurene Powell Jobs. It was edited by Leslie Berlin.

The idea, Powell Jobs told the Washington Post, was to allow readers to hear from Jobs himself. “He has been written about, but this is actually his writing and his work,” Powell Jobs said. “So there’s no intermediary.”

The digital book will be free to the public and was created by former Apple chief design officer Jony Ive's LoveFrom for the Archive. A version will also be available as an ebook on Apple Books. The exact time the book will be released Tuesday has not yet been announced.

The Steve Jobs Archive launched last September, created by Jobs' family and friends. According to the Archive, it "is the authoritative home for Steve’s story and a resource to help new generations make their own mark."

The website includes clippings of internal meetings at Apple, commencement speeches, emails and more.

In addition to the forthcoming digital book, the Archive teases upcoming programs, fellowships and digital exhibits to carry Steve's "sense of possibility" into the future.
