South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.
The Internet Archive has taken on the monumental task by becoming the official custodian of the Aruba Collection, a digital repository for Aruba ’s National Library, National Archives, and several other cultural institutions such as an archaeology museum, and the University of Aruba . The collection now boasts 101,376 items, nearly matching the island's population, comprising 40,000 documents, 60,000 images, and seven 3D objects.
“We just hit it off,” says Argondizzo. “We ran into a lot of roadblocks before we stumbled upon the Internet Archive,” Scholing says. Archival work can be labour intensive—it’s not easy to turn stacks of dusty tomes and fragile decades-old newspapers into easily searchable files. The budget for digitisation, he says, was “shoestring,” making the scope of the project daunting, especially for a country of around 110,000 people.
