The Archives of the Cultural Centre in Ibadan is a network focused on preserving and digitizing the political and cultural records of Western Nigeria. This initiative is part of a larger project called Alternative Heritage, funded by the French Embassy, and has emerged from previously neglected government files found in the Oyo State Secretariats. The goal of the initiative is to protect fragile yet invaluable documents that capture the lived experiences of governance, labor, education, and everyday bureaucratic life in postcolonial Nigeria.
