After six months of meticulous work, the Ogunsheye Foundation team, under the leadership of Adejoke Rafiat Adetoro, has successfully completed the cleaning, scanning, renaming, and metadata creation for the first 250 folders of the Ogunsheye Foundation's invaluable archival collection.
This milestone includes materials from two extraordinary collections: Professor Felicia Adetowun Ogunsheye'sarchive, which documents women's activism in Nigeria and its international connections from the 1940s to the present. Professor Ayo Fidelis Ogunsheye's archive, which explores Nigeria's economic history and the development of adult education in the country.
