The Library
The library's collection of books focuses primarily on southern Africa and
publications originating from the region. Its holdings of publications printed
in Namibia since the early 1950s are probably the most extensive outside Africa.
The collection contains publications in European and African languages and
emphasises the social sciences and humanities. The rare-book collection of early
accounts of European explorations covers the whole of sub-Saharan Africa.
Special attention is being given to material documenting the history of the
Swiss in Africa.
The collection of periodicals includes both colonial and current titles, some of
which are not to be found in other institutions in Switzerland. Current
periodicals from southern Africa include newspapers, community newsletters,
business bulletins and scientific journals.
The collection of bibliographies is intended to cover all major geographic
regions and subject issues concerning sub-Saharan Africa. They enable us to
maintain the original purpose of the institution, i.e. to provide
bibliographical information to researchers and others interested in Africa.
The Archives
The archival collection consists of several sections. One section primarily
holds personal papers of individuals from Namibia and Switzerland. Another
section consists of press cuttings and grey literature (pamphlets, reports,
posters, etc.) from southern Africa and includes material from various Anti-

Namibia is being kept. The map collection contains 800 maps on Namibia, at
present on loan to the Institute of Geography of the Universi
