The information exists.The record doesn't.
Ghana keeps its history in fragments: a Wix page nobody updated, a WhatsApp group, a school filing cabinet, somebody's YouTube account. The Store Room is where those fragments get put back into a record you can search, check and argue with.
The NSMQ Archive
Ghana's National Science & Maths QuizThirty-one contested editions since 1994, and the 2026 championship rebuilt contest by contest instead of winner by winner. Round-by-round scores where they were published, final totals where they were not, and a page listing what nobody wrote down.
Drawn here, not borrowed. The NSMQ trophy and marks belong to Primetime Limited.
Ghana Music Awards
Twenty-seven years of what Ghana chose to recogniseEvery winner from 2000 to 2026, taken out of the organisers' single long table and rebuilt as a record. The table writes these awards 269 different ways; most of that is typing, some of it is Ghana changing what it called its own music, and this keeps the difference visible.
Three of the twenty-seven. Names from the record, not the trophy — that belongs to Charterhouse.
Referenced, not moved
Three award systems, 1,321 sourced records, kept next door because that is where their readers already are. The Store Room catalogues them. It does not move them.
Gong Gong Awards Winners
Advertising, creative craft, media, campaignsThe campaigns, agencies and clients behind Ghana's flagship creative and media honours, with a public corrections ledger.
CIMG Awards Winners
Marketing performance, brands, people, organisationsThirty-six years of the people and organisations recognised for moving markets. The longest run of the three.
IPR Ghana Excellence Awards
Public relations, communications, practitionersThe organisations and practitioners recognised for shaping public trust. Small, because only two cycles survive verification.
All three live on marketing.kaditay.com beside the Ghana Agency Index, where the people who read them already are.
Recently catalogued
Everything here arrived the day after the 2026 final, which is the whole idea.
Still in boxes
Work that exists as a pile rather than a record. Listed so it can be looked for, not promoted to a project.

I think I've accidentally become an archivist.
Not the gloves-and-boxes kind. I just keep finding things that mattered, things we all experienced, talked about, obsessed over, then somehow allowed to disappear into broken links, dead websites and scattered posts.
So I made Store Room.
It's where I keep the things I don't think should vanish. Ghanaian culture, moments, records, people, competitions, stories and whatever else sends me down a rabbit hole.
Some of it is important. Some of it is wonderfully random.
All of it felt worth keeping.
