On 27 March 2012 the Nelson Mandela digital archive was launched at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory. The archive celebrates global access to photos, videos, letters and personal documents about the life and times of Mr Mandela on a digital platform.
Mr Mandela’s archive, dating from 1929, is now accessible in digital format to anyone, anywhere in the world, thanks to a partnership between the Centre of Memory and the Google Cultural Institute.
The digital archive exhibition, which showcases content that has never been seen or digitised before, as well as artefacts that weren’t accessible before, is currently in storage at the Centre of Memory premises in Houghton.
