ABSTRACT
This is an
exploratory study of rhe challenges facing digital preservation in Africa. The
study reviewed several literatures on digital preservation in Africa. The study
concluded that Archives and libraries must contend with entirely new forms of
electronically-enabled discourse and new forms of artistic and cu/rural
expression that do not have predecessors in the analogue world. Equally, no
current preservation method is adequate for preserving dynamic data objects
from complex syslems stating that there are no established conceptual models or
technical processes for preserving multi-media works, inleraclive hyper-media,
on-line dialogues. or many of the new electronic forms being created today. The
archival requirements to preserve content, context, and structure and to
maintain the capability to display. link, and manipulate digital objects only
heighten their software dependency.
