  Archives, the Digital Turn and Governance in Africa

  “History in Africa” Journal

  This featured section of History in Africa will address the wave of digitisation of archives in Africa over the last fifteen years.

This wave of digitisation is usually seen as a progress with the help of ambitious initiatives applying new technologies to cultural heritage of humanity such as the rescue of the manuscripts of Timbuktu or the Endangered Archives programme at the British Library. Yet as much as these new technologies raise enthusiasm, they also prompt discussions amongst researchers and archivists, which go from intellectual property to sovereignty and governance.
