Festivals are significant events in the social and cultural reality of people. To preserve cultural heritage, specialists capture what happens before, during and after a festival by interviewing participants, taking photographs and recording audio and video of the event, etc.

For example, Pelu Awofeso has documented the Lagos Eyo Festival (also known as the Adamo Orisha Play) in his work White Lagos: A Definitive and Visual Guide to the Eyo Festival, in which he observes participants and uses a narratological approach to document the event in textual form. In my research, I show that the use of digital software such as Tropy and Omeka S, will be useful in both documenting as well as digitising images for mapping and annotation. These processes will enhance the preservation, data protection, and privacy of textual documentation of festivals.
