New Case Study!

“Working with SDE was an excellent and painless experience. The important thing about the Gacaca project was that we didn’t just need to get stuff digitised – we needed to set up an infrastructure and train local staff in Rwanda so that they could do it themselves, and also take on other digitisation projects after that. For this Geoff and his team did an outstanding job.”

We’ve launched our latest case study.

In 2016 King’s College London (KCL) Commissioned Geoff to provide technical consultancy for a project based in Rwanda: The Gacaca Archives.

The objective was to digitise and electronically preserve all the court documentation generated after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. In little over 100 days in 1994 approximately 1 million people were murdered.

It was a fascinating and moving project to work on, both with the project partners and with the project team in Rwanda. We learnt so much while working on that project and it has informed our work ever since. You can view the case study here (https://digitisation.io/home/casestudies/cs_gacaca/)
