SN 3 EP 7: Preserving African Knowledge Through Digital Libraries with Dr. Nkem Osuigwe

In this episode, Dr. Nkem Osuigwe talks about her journey from a child in post-war Nigeria to an award-winning librarian. Dr. Osuigwe shares her work with the African Library and Information Associations and Institutions (AfLIA) and as 2022's Wikimedian of the Year. The conversation explores pressing issues in African librarianship: preserving traditional knowledge, translating materials into local languages, ensuring data sovereignty, and linking Wikipedia articles about Africa to African libraries rather than external institutions. Dr. Osuigwe emphasizes how digital libraries can amplify African stories globally while protecting knowledge sovereignty.
