About Archivi fellowship

The Archivi.ng Fellowship is a multidisciplinary six-month programme designed to enhance the world’s understanding of Nigerian history in engaging and meaningful ways.

Despite its rich heritage, much of Nigerian history has remained inaccessible and not used for public engagement. Archivi.ng is on a mission to preserve history by digitising archival materials – currently newspapers and magazines – making them accessible and facilitating understanding for everyone.
