YILCO is launching its inaugural Web Archiving Fellowship — equipping librarians, archivists, curators, and information professionals across Africa with the tools, skills, and networks needed to preserve Africa's digital memory for future generations.
Youth Initiative for Literacy and Cultural Orientation is delighted to introduce the outstanding fellows selected for the Web Archiving Fellowship, Cohort 1 (2026).
With over 400 applications received, the selection process was highly competitive, reflecting the remarkable interest and commitment to advancing web archiving across our communities.
This inaugural cohort represents an intergenerational mix of fellows, bringing together emerging professionals and experienced practitioners whose diverse perspectives will enrich learning, collaboration, and innovation throughout the fellowship.
Congratulations to our Cohort 1 fellows. We look forward to an inspiring journey of learning, collaboration, and impact.
