The lack of funds is making it difficult for the department to purchase materials for the preservation of the historical documents. Mr. Setse said the department may be forced to quarantine these historical documents until such a time that they are put to proper shape for accessibility. “We may lose our memory as a region and as a state and posterity will judge us,” the Regional Head said. “We want to appeal to organizations and well-meaning Ghanaians to support the department with equipment to help us function,” Mr. Setse added.
