The NGO Family Search offers its archive digitization services to the University of Kinshasa

Digitization is underway at the University of Kinshasa. One of the organizations eager to support the inspired hill in this process, the NGO Family Search, offers its services in this area. Established in 1884, this non-profit organization, funded by the Church of Latter-day Saints, specializes in digitizing government archives. Equipped with sophisticated equipment, Family Search has already undertaken the digitization of government records in several countries, including Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire.

A state-of-the-art scanner, capable of digitizing 400,000 documents in a year, is in its possession. The Rector of the University of Kinshasa, Professor Jean-Marie Kayembe Ntumba, who received in audience Thomas M. Nelson (Records Acquisition at Family Search) and Boris Mboela Kabeya (Area Manager for Central Africa at Family Search), expressed his support for the project. A partnership between Family Search and the University of Kinshasa is planned for the digitization of the archives of the former UNAZA.
