Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that I am part of a working group involved in the
digitization of the Kenya News Agency archives. The KNA was established in 1943, and is a
photographic library that was used in the past decades by journalists to document various
pre-colonial events such as the MauMau struggle. They have lots of content that are a
national treasure, yet most of their photos are stored in metallic cabinets at Jogoo
House, due to budgetary constraints.
The KNA would therefore like to digitize its content so as to increase access and has
started up a small working group to figure out the best way(s) to go about this.
I'll update you guys with more info about the digitization after we have our first
meeting.
Regards,Abbas.
