Why this archive.

Who we are

Uganda Untold is a project of Sangyin Group Ltd., an organization committed to preserving and sharing African history through digital media. Historians, educators, and developers work to bridge oral tradition and modern scholarship.

How a record is marked

Record type and review status describe different things. Historical accounts, oral legends, and reconstructions all begin as drafts. A reviewed record must name its reviewer, review date, and supporting sources.

• Historical account A historical narrative. The separate draft or reviewed label describes its editorial status.
• Oral Legend Passed down through oral tradition. It may blend history and mythology.
• AI Reconstruction An assisted reconstruction based on available evidence. It is not a primary source.

What still needs checking

The archive's accounts await independent historical review. Source links identify the particular claims they support. An inherited bibliography is kept separate until its editions and passages have been checked.

Photographs without documented publication rights are held out of the published site. Initials and typographic plates stand in for those images. Asset credits describe the fonts, artwork, and map data in use.
