A dying art? Archiving photographs in Cameroon

Creator:

Host:

I discuss the practical problems of running an project to archive the contents of a photographers studio in Cameroon with the help of the British Library's Endangered Archives Programme. Reflections on long term fieldwork in a small Cameroonian village end with the current uses of photography which are similar to those in the archive but likely never to receive such attention for reasons which I discuss. The article is written for a non‐specialist generalist audience.
