Ogunsheye Foundation

Digitalisation training at the Ogunsheye Foundation

On 5 June, Dr Sara Panata, Dr Segun Ogunsheye and Olushola Patrick Babalola, IFRA-Nigeria documentalist, held a training on digitalisation and the creation of metadata at the Ogunsheye Foundation. It was organised as part of the Women's and Labour Movements, Adult and Higher Education in Nigeria project, of which IFRA-Nigeria is a partner. Its goal: to digitize the collections of Professor Felicia Adetowun Ogunsheye, women's rights activist and first female professor in Nigeria, and Professor Ayodele Ogunsheye, businessman and adult education professor. 

This training was the first step in allowing team members to begin working on the digitalisation of the large quantity of valuable materials kept in the Ogunsheye Foundation. Scroll to see some pictures of the event.
