 LASRAB BEGINS DIGITIZATION OF RECORDS TO SAFEGUARD CULTURAL HERITAGE


The Director-General of the Lagos State Records and Archives Bureau (LASRAB), Ms. Toyin Ogunlana has revealed that the ongoing comprehensive digitization of the Agency’s records is a strategic effort to preserve and enhance access to the rich historical and governmental heritage of Lagos State.


Speaking during an interview in her office on Monday, Ms. Ogunlana emphasised that the initiative is a forward-thinking move designed to safeguard the State’s cultural memory and historical legacy.


Describing digitization as “the way to go” in today’s digital age, she noted that digital storage ensures the safety and longevity of historical documents, making vital information readily accessible to researchers, students, government institutions, and the general public.


“This project is about preserving our past for the benefit of future generations,” she said. “We are not only protecting these records from deterioration or loss, but also making them available at the click of a button for those who need them.”


She added that LASRAB is working in partnership with historical and educational institutions to ensure the digitization process adheres to global standards and supports academic research. The project also includes the restoration of fragile and ageing documents of significant historical importance to Lagos State.


According to her, one of the core objectives is to create a robust digital repository that will serve as a reliable reference point for government operations, legal documentation, developmental milestones, and the State’s cultural evolution.


Ms. Ogunlana also encouraged public participation, stating that LASRAB welcomes partnerships with individuals and institutions who may possess valuable historical materials that can enhance the archive.


“History is a collective asset,” she said. “We invite anyone with relevant materials to come forward. This digitization project is not limited to government records - it is about preserving the collective memory of our people.”


The digitization effort will span from the colonial era to present-day developments. Upon completion, LASRAB plans to provide secure, user-friendly online access to the digitized materials for both local and global users.
