The literature review was used to assess the state of digital records in South Africa. The researcher found that most of digitisation project conducted in post-apartheid South Africa were conducted without digital framework or strategy, lack of skills, and lack of personnel to conduct digitization project. The success of digitization project depends on collaboration of organisation.
