In four weeks, Jamaica will become the owner of a US$200,000 (J$23 million) state-of-the-art Digital Archival System, which will allow for the preservation of the audiovisual data of several public agencies.

The system, which is being purchased through support from the Government of the Republic of South Korea, will allow the agencies to convert analogue source material of objects, images, sounds and video recordings to digital format, providing for  greater preservation, easier access, retrieval and usage.
