South Sudan Archives and Libraries


 * Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
 * If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
 * Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

Museums

 * The National Museum project was designed with the innovative approach of conducting a fully participatory process for the establishment of the institution and the aggregation of its collection through the involvement of local communities from inception. This has taken the form of a mobile museum visiting remote areas to foster dialogue with communities on how they see themselves being represented in the Museum. The visited communities form an integral part of the project, bringing together the collection, which consists of video footage, audio recordings, life stories, photographs, and objects. To date the communities have contributed with approximately 81 objects, 55 recordings and 44 short videos. Currently in its pilot phase, the “Traveling Exhibition” is touring throughout Eastern Equatoria, Western Equatoria and Western Bahr el Ghazal.
