Manuscript Archives

The Manuscript Archives contain legacies and bequests (or parts thereof) of individuals who lived and/or worked in Namibia or in southern Africa. In most cases the material comprises correspondence, manuscripts and publications, photographs and sometimes also diaries and transcriptions. Of particular note are the archives with scientific material, such as those of Ernst and Ruth Dammann, Tony Emmett, Fritz Gaerdes, Ernst Rudolf and Anneliese Scherz, Katesa Schlosser and Theo Sundermeier.

Printed inventories are available for various individual collections.
