Digitization prospects in developing countries: Case of Zimbabwe National Archives
6 – 9 November 2013
Abstract
The future of traditional audiovisual archives lies in their ability to adopt digital solutions. This paper discusses digitization prospects in developing countries with particular emphasis on the National Archives of Zimbabwe. Despite technological advances, African countries fail to start digitization projects. The paper attempts to uncover problems that impede wide adoption of digital solutions in Zimbabwe. There is need to overcome these obstacles before setting up meaningful digital systems. It discusses the implications of key audiovisual archiving philosophical and ethical issues on digitization projects in developing countries in East and Southern Africa. The paper goes on to suggest realistic, low cost and applicable digitization solutions that do not strain institutional resources whilst respecting authenticity and inherent values of audiovisual heritage yet at the same time, considering the constraints in which some institutions are currently operating under. The paper concludes by stressing manageable and applicable digital solutions for developing countries
