dc.description.abstractDigitization has spread world-wide like an infectious disease and no country has been spared. Guidelines, instructions and policies can be found in abundance on the Internet. Nevertheless, it seems that the same mistakes are made again and again. This paper analyses the experiences of the National Archives of Namibia, which has gone through the whole wide array of pitfalls and mistakes. The paper comes to the conclusion that, under African conditions of very limited resources, certain mistakes are unavoidable until the adequate local conditions have been explored and local solutions have been found.en_ZA
