Why is it important?
The significance of curriculum development in the digital age for archives and records management, particularly in Africa, cannot be overstated. While universities worldwide have integrated comprehensive studies on all aspects of archives and records management programs, with a particular emphasis on managing records created in networked environments, this is not necessarily the case for universities on the African continent. In Africa, there has been a long-standing history of education and training for professionals specializing in archives and records. However, various countries across Africa have pursued different paths to achieve their professional qualifications in this field.
