The Threat of Paper Decay: Why Historical Archiving Cannot Wait
Physical paper has an expiration date. In typical school archives across Addis Ababa, paper registers from the 1990s and 2000s are yellowing, ink is fading, and bookbindings are disintegrating. Floods, roof leaks during the rainy season, rodent infestation, or an accidental fire can wipe out 30 years of institutional history overnight.
When alumni who are applying to overseas universities or government positions return to request verified transcripts from ten years ago, registrars spend days rummaging through dusty store rooms—or are forced to deliver the heartbreaking news that the records are lost. MyEdu permanently eliminates this risk.
