About us
The Basler Afrika Bibliographien (BAB) in Switzerland has been in existence since 1971 as a private specialist library and archive on southern Africa. It has an international reputation for its extensive holdings on Namibia.
In 1994, the BAB was incorporated into the non-profit Carl Schlettwein Foundation. The BAB networks with institutions and researchers all over the world and is an associate member of the Centre for African Studies at the University of Basel and the Swiss African Society.
The BAB supports and promotes the documentation and accessibility of library and archive holdings and engages in research on Namibia and southern Africa. The BAB also has its own publishing house and runs an antiquarian bookshop.
