We're ending Africa Month's series of blog posts with one about the African Studies Collection, by Busi Khangala, one of the Librarians in Special Collections.
This year marks 20 years since the ǂKhomani San Land Claim Agreement was signed at Molopo. Hugh Brody, a British anthropologist, writer and director, worked during the 1990s to document the project.
The library contains many early botanical works, including the writings of early 17th-century travellers who visited southern Africa and explored its flora. It serves academics and students from Biological Sciences and Bolus Herbarium.
