#WAWResident @thisNneoma stays working overtime with yet another published piece, this time for @HistoryWO on temporality and why it matters. This piece was partly workshopped during the #wawresidency. Read and learn… 📝 – at Abeokuta, Nigeria

This is brilliant! The materiality (and toxicity) of archives, and their rescue and recovery. For more on @Accra_Archive see accraarchive.com
As seen on @bbcworldservice #focusonafrica:
Our @Accra_Archive Project, which has digitised over 30,000 primary archival materials concerning architecture and urban administration in Accra was featured.
It was funded by the @britishlibrary's @bl_eap

Just listened to an interesting @BBCAfrica feature on @Kuukuwa_ 's @Accra_Archive. Very important work digitizing records of architectural drawings of early Accra.
