  • the General Library with books published after 1919, journals, newspapers and grey literature from and about Namibia and southern Africa;
  • the Rare-Book Collection, with old, rare and bibliophile works relating to the entire African continent.
The library is a reference library with the option of weekend and holiday loans. The library staff will be happy to provide assistance and advice while you undertake research with the holdings.
