A case study of the Moxwera wa Babaso newspaper (1925-1938) Loubser, Maggi u12102891@tuks.co.za Kriel, Lize Manyike, Nkami Berniece UCTD Newspaper Digitisation Moxwera wa Babaso, Mogoera oa Babaso, Mogwera, Conservation Mini Dissertation (MSocSci (Tangible Heritage Conservation))--University of Pretoria, 2023. In this study a condition report is carried out on the Moxwera wa Babaso newspapers (1925-1938). The study then explores two possible conservation methods that could remedy the damage found. The first is towards the digital representation of the content found in the newspaper and the second is towards the physical restoration of the newspapers. As the newspaper is under the guardianship of the National Library of South Africa (NLSA) this study only gives possible treatment suggestions. Storage protocols of the hard copies are discussed, and handling as well as reinforcement methods are considered for the long-term preservation of the actual documents. Digitisation and storage on a website where researchers can apply for access would assist with the long-term retention of the information within the newspapers and assist in making the information accessible to the public in the future. When the information is accessible on online platforms it would limit the physical handling of the actual publications that would assist with the long-term conservation of the newspapers. Under digitisation the following aspects are considered prior to embarking on any digitisation route; management, technology and content.
