This paper examines and recommends strategies for the education and training of archivists at the East African School of Librarianship (EASL) in the 1990s and beyond. First, it states the objectives of the National Information System (NATIS) in relation to coordinating the development of library and information services, a major component of which is education and training. The author then defines some terms and gives brief notes on education and training programs offered by selected African library schools, with special reference to archives. Finally, the current status of archival education and training at the East African School of Librarianship is discussed. The paper concludes with proposals for the future education and training of archivists at the EASL in the 1990s and beyond.
