How to Build A Personal Archive

Learn how you can create, preserve and digitise your personal collection of journals, photographs, family albums and documents that are at risk of getting lost or damaged. Chao Tayiana Maina, Digital Specialist and Founder of African Digital Heritage, will take you through how to digitise your cherished items.

This video tutorial is part of our larger digitisation work protecting some crucial #NRBLibraries archives at the McMillan Memorial Library on Banda Street in Nairobi. These crucial archives were identified as part of our cataloguing process throughout 2019, which created the libraries’ first-ever digital catalogue consisting of 137,705 items. The project was supported by British Councils’ Cultural Protection Fund and was delivered in partnership with African Digital Heritage and the Built Environment Surveyors & Infrastructure Consultancy (BESIC) Group.
