Of particular interest are projects that aim to review archive material or prepare new acquisitions to make them accessible to the scholarly community, interested members of the public and future generations. These projects normally include a media aspect. As a rule these materials are then passed on to Basler Afrika Bibliographien and the National Archives of Namibia in Windhoek.
