Archive Repatriation in Southern Africa

Angeline S. Kamba

National Archives of Zimbabwe

Peter C. Mazikana

National Archives of Zimbabwe

Describes a project, funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Unesco, to microfilm documents held in the National Archives of Zimbabwe which related to the former Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, and repatriate them to the National Archives of its former constituent countries, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The problems encountered with equipment, staff and supplies are described. Despite the problems, the objectives of the project were more than fulfilled. Microfilm copies of the documents, amounting to some three million pages, have been handed over by the National Archives of Zimbabwe to those of Malawi and Zambia, together with microfilming equipment used in the project, and a training course carried out during the project has created a core of trained technicians.
