---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 11 April 2012 03:52 X-posted from H-SAfrica From: Joan Wardrop <[log in to unmask]> __________ From: Christine Root Sent: 11 April 2012 [log in to unmask] The African Activist Archive Project now has 5,000 digital items in its free, online collection (http://africanactivist.msu.edu/) from the U.S. anti-apartheid and other solidarity movements during the early 1950s to the mid-1990s. It includes documents, posters, photographs, T-shirts, buttons, and audio and video recordings that were produced by more than 260 groups in 35 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia. The archive also includes materials in support of the anti-colonial struggles elsewhere in Southern Africa, especially Namibia, Rhodesia, Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. Now, several college courses and at least one PhD dissertator are using this burgeoning collection. And we are continuing to add materials - 1,500 items in 2011 and a planned 1,000 more in 2012. We also continue to contact former activists in the Africa solidarity movement who would like to cooperate with us. We can assist with arranging for a physical collection to be donated to the Michigan State University Library Special Collections. For those who want to donate them to another repository or keep their collections, we are happy to create digital copies of selected materials and return the originals. In January, we started a Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/African.Activist.Archive) where we highlight historically interesting and newly added items to the digital collection and point to similar archival projects. If you have materials to be archived - or know someone else who saved activist materials from the struggles supporting African freedom, let us know before they may be discarded.
