Memory · Identity · Legacy
The KP Jaluo Abroad Archive is being developed as a digital home for the photographs, documents, recordings, research and community memories that help tell the stories of Luo people.
The purpose of the archive
An archive is more than a collection of old things. It is a record of who we are, where we come from and what we choose to pass on.
This page will grow into a carefully organised resource for historical and contemporary material connected to Luo communities across East and Central Africa and the global diaspora.
Materials will be presented with attention to context, authorship, dates, permissions, source details and the voices of the people and communities represented.
