Abstract
In this research work, the human and material resources for the education
of the archivists in Nigerian Universities were studied, using Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaria, Bayero University Kano, University of Ibadan and Nnamdi
Azikiwe University, Awka, as the reference points.
The research design adopted was the survey methods. Personal on the
spot observations, oral interview and questionnaires were employed as
instruments for data collection. The research data were analysed using
descriptive statistical method.
The results showed that out of a total of six lecturers teaching archives
courses in the four Universities reviewed only four of them were fully qualified, as
archivist lecturers. With the exception of the University of Ibadan which has a
well developed archives unit , the material resources in other three Universities
were found to be inadequate for educating archivists. Recommendations were
made for remedying the situations.
