The National Archives of Zambia has urged government institutions to submit records older than 20 years for evaluation to determine their value in preserving the nation’s heritage.
Director of the National Archives, Emmanuel Sianjani, made the appeal on Tuesday during Zambia’s 60th Independence celebrations at the National Archives headquarters in Lusaka.
He stated the institution’s commitment to preserving Zambia’s historical legacy.

“Imagine how we could honor our heritage without safeguarding these documents,” Sianjani said.
He highlighted the Archives’ role in ensuring that future generations understand Zambia’s history.
Sianjani also encouraged publishers to contribute to this effort by submitting copies of all published works to the National Archives, further enhancing the country’s documented history.
Speaking at the same event, Acting British High Commissioner, Sam Waldock, reflected on the historical bond between Zambia and the United Kingdom.
“Zambia has shown incredible resolve in shaping its path since independence,” he noted.
He added that the UK remained committed to supporting Zambia’s development.
Irish Embassy First Secretary, Bryan Cardon, stated that Zambia’s 60th independence anniversary symbolised more than just sovereignty.
“It represents the building of a freer country,” Cardon remarked, underscoring the importance of citizens’ freedom to speak against injustice.
