Nelson Mandela digital archive exhibition
On 27 March 2012 the Nelson Mandela digital archive was launched at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory. The archive celebrates global access to photos, videos, letters and personal documents about the life and times of Mr Mandela on a digital platform.
Nelson Mandela’s archive, dating from 1929, is now accessible in digital format to anyone, anywhere in the world, thanks to a partnership between the Centre of Memory and the Google Cultural Institute.
The digital archive exhibition, which showcases content that has never been seen or digitised before, as well as artifacts that weren’t accessible before, is currently in storage at the Centre of Memory premises in Houghton.
Former exhibition installations across the country include:
- 17-18 July 2012 at Nelson Mandela Museum, at the Legacies and the State of Archives Colloquium
- 24-28 October 2012 at Tshwane City Hall, at the ANC Solidarity Conference
- 31 October-02 November 2012 at the East London Convention Centre National Heritage Council, at the Archives in the Deepening of Democracy Conference
- 16-21 December 2012 at the University of Free State, at the ANC National Conference
