Project summary
Sudan’s archives and collections have suffered from decades of conflict, underinvestment and a lack of skilled personnel.
This project trained local staff in scanning, metadata and workflow management, and digitised tens of thousands of high-quality images and films from public and private collections throughout Sudan.
