Sudan Memory is an online archive and cultural heritage project, provided by an international group of partners with the aim of conserving and promoting Sudanese cultural heritage. In the course of the project, digital reproductions of books and newspapers, photographs and films, visual art and architecture, as well as of other cultural objects in Sudan were created and published on the project's website.
According to Sudan Memory's website, available in English and Arabic, its activities relate to the history and culture of Sudan. This has been achieved through cooperation between Sudanese and British organizations with the aim of organizing, archiving and thereby safeguarding documents and other media in danger of being lost. These activities include the acquisition of technical material, training of staff in digitizing media and providing online access for the general public in Sudan and worldwide.
