Proceedings of Archiving Kenya's Past and Futures

This workshop held on November 12, 2019 brought together fifty researchers, archival specialists, open data technologists, and government representatives to think about the intersection between open data technologies, digital humanities and research data practices in Kenya.

The event ran from 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM and was organized around an opening presentation by Angela Okune and Leonida Mutuku followed by three panel sessions which explored how diverse institutions have attempted to support student interests in research and archiving; raised questions about existing forms of scholarly knowledge outputs; and dove into the politics and geographies of data localisation and governance.
