Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Historical architecture represents a physical record of cultural heritage, reflecting the traditions, beliefs, and technological advancements of a community. In Dutsin-Ma Local Government Area, Katsina State, historical buildings stand as testaments to the area’s rich history and architectural ingenuity. However, the lack of proper documentation threatens the preservation of these structures, as many are subject to neglect, modernization, and environmental degradation. Photography serves as a vital tool for chronicling historical architecture, providing a visual archive that captures the essence and details of these structures for future generations. As noted by Suleiman and Abdulkadir (2024), photography not only aids in preserving cultural heritage but also promotes awareness and appreciation of historical sites. This study investigates the role of photography in documenting and preserving the historical architecture of Dutsin-Ma, focusing on its impact on cultural preservation and public engagement.
