More hereGoogle’s Cultural Institute has now unveiled the new online exhibit about the fascinating colonial history of Lagos as part of the Institute’s efforts to preserve cultures that are in danger of being forgotten in the future.
In the new exhibit, Nigeria’s Pan-Atlantic University makes two presentations. The first is a collection of rare historical documents and photographs spanning the years 1851 to 1914 telling the story of Nigeria’s development as a British colony. The second exhibition traces the transformation of Lagos from a cosmopolitan colonial trading centre to West Africa’s large largest metropolis, a look at Lagos then and now.
Both collections are available online as interactive galleries comprising of text, images, videos and maps.
