Summary

The purpose of the Desmond Tutu Digital Archive project is to create a multimedia digital archive of the personal papers and recordings of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, which will be made available over the internet free of charge. The Archive will be fully interactive, with tools to facilitate access by people of all cultures, all ages and all levels of learning and experience, not only in South Africa but all over the world. The project is fully endorsed and supported by Archbishop Tutu.

At present the project is in a preliminary phase, in which the partners are seeking funding for the main project.
