Collective Memory
Heritage Ghana
We preserve, research, and catalogue Ghana's documentary heritage — safeguarding manuscripts, records, and oral testimony, and authenticating the evidence that carries them, for generations still to come.
Every documentary heritage is a piece of memory with intrinsic value.
CMHG exists to salvage, manage and promote the significance of documentary heritage, and cultural heritage materials of enduring value for proper stewardship — discovering what has been written, spoken, and stored, and authenticating in accordance with governing legislations.
Preserve & Manage
Safeguarding manuscripts, records, and oral testimony against loss, decay, and disorder.
Research & Digitise
Contract search for families, traditional authorities, and other institutions — unearthing archival data on demand in analogue and digital format. Discovering written and oral histories, and cataloguing and digitising them into a well-organised system to aid service delivery.
Promote & Share
Bringing Ghana's history and cultural heritage into public life, where it can be seen, used, and understood.
