Translations:Main challenges for CSOs creating digital archives/16/en

On top of this extensive set of internal, organization-related difficulties being insufficient, CSOs developing digital archives also regularly face several external challenges. These can include political pressure or security threats to the organization or its archives from people and organizations that do not want the archival material to be made public and accessible or used in legal processes. This is frequently the case for CSOs that build their digital archives during conflict or violent regime rule or in post-conflict and post-dictatorship periods in countries where elements of previous regimes—individuals or organizations—have retained substantial power and media and social control.
