AGS Rwanda, MEMORIST's sister company whose parent company is the Mobilitas Group, showcases MEMORIST's services dedicated to the preservation and sharing of heritage. The Shoah Memorial in Paris chose AGS Rwanda for a crucial project in Rwanda's rich history: the digitisation of 500,000 pages of archives from the Ibuka Genocide Memorial. This esteemed collaboration is a testament to the expertise and dedication of AGS Rwanda in the field of archiving and digitisation. The documents, meticulously collected by the archivists of the Ibuka Memorial, represent a poignant testimony to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. These testimonials, files and books have been carefully preserved and are spread throughout Rwanda. Since March 2023, archivists have been meticulously sorting, digitising and securing these priceless archives that recount the events of the 1994 genocide, ensuring that the historical documents are preserved for future generations. More than a simple digitisation mission, this undertaking is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving historical accounts and bearing witness to a shared history. By converting these physical archives into digital files, we are ensuring their longevity and protecting them from possible deterioration over time. The new archives will also facilitate access and dissemination, promoting a better understanding of Rwanda's history. As we continue our work, we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a significant undertaking. This project aligns with the Group's core values of excellence, integrity and commitment. We thank the IBUKA archivists for entrusting us with this crucial task and the Shoah Memorial for recognising our abilities.
