The contribution of digital preservation of historical documents in mozambique

Abstract

This article sought to analyze the contribution of digital preservation of historical documents in Mozambique. Digital preservation guarantees the availability of historical documents for future generations, ensuring their validity and legibility. In Mozambique, there is fragility in digital preservation, due to the use of traditional archival techniques that are easy to destroy. Technological evolution makes it possible to archive historical documents so that we all have access to knowledge of a historical past, based on them. The creation of a digital archive makes it possible to disseminate history throughout society, considering that everyone has access to all the documents that tell the history of a given era, there can hardly be any weakness in the interpretation of the facts. With the evolution of technology, historical documents can be kept on a Facebook account, for example, where all generations have access to them.
