Facebook partnership to support the Nelson Mandela Archive

2018 is the centenary of Nelson Mandela's birth.


Facebook has announced a three-year partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation to support the Nelson Mandela Archive.  It will also be working to support the foundation on social media, including livestreaming a programme of global events throughout 2018.

The project aims to bring together the geographically dispersed archives of the life and times of Nelson Mandela into a single online collection, ensuring they are accessible to all.
