The Archival Platform Would donations be an effective way of raising money for government archives in South Africa to digitise the entire collection?

I stand to be corrected but the last I heard from Canada's immediate former archivist Ian Wilson or the current Daniel J. Caron, digitisation is a project but very selective. Their challenges are actually more to do with processing (archival arrangement and description) of paper archives as well as recordkeeping of born-digital records. As I said, I stand to be corrected.
