Grant Description

To provide equipment for the University of Ibadan's History Department in order to preserve and digitize the special collection held in the Kenneth Dike Library. The library holds extensive collections of primary documents from the 19th century and early 20th century. Lack of funds has led to the deterioration of the documents and to their restricted availability to scholars.
