One may be right to deduce that when the headquarters of the national Public Records and Archives Administration Department (PRAAD) in Accra is cast off, then those in the regions would be in a devastating state or become non-existent. This assumption for the Central Region is true!
And if the magnificent facility that is responsible for the preservation of Ghana’s rich documentary and cultural heritage and making these accessible to the generality of the public for various purposes - such as genealogy, conflict resolutions and settlement of boundary disputes, hereditary and other claims, national identity and research in all fields of human endeavour involving Ghana and the outside world - is not even known by many in the region then it is worrying.
