Call for Applications: Archivi.ng Fellowship Program 2024: (Deadline 10 October, 2024)

We are launching The Archivi.ng Fellowship, 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 under-utilised for public engagement. At Archivi.ng, our mission is to preserve history by digitising archival materials – currently newspapers and magazines – making them accessible and facilitating understanding for everyone. Our work is guided by the question: What stories and perspectives are hidden in Nigeria’s archives, waiting to be uncovered?

Since we went live with the first tranche of newspapers about a year ago, it’s become even clearer to us: our job is not just to help people discover history but also to make sense of it. This is what birthed The Archivist, and this fellowship further advances our journey: with passionate and exceptional individuals.
