Sudan Archive Digitisation Project
This project will digitise key printed and archive resources from Durham University's Sudan Archive to make them freely accessible via the internet to scholars all over the world. It will be a pilot to establish a preservation quality digitisation suite within Durham University's Archives and Special Collections.
The project will establish the hardware and the procudures needed by the University to carry out future digitisation of key materials. It will seek to solve the current problem of heavily-used, fragile, modern documents (which particularly occur in the Sudan Archive) by providing a sustainable preservation, digitisation and access systems. It will provide a demonstartion of the staffing needs for creating a permanent digitisation post. The various materials will provide new forms of content for our developing digital repository.
