SWAPO Documents of Dr. Peter Katjavivi

CAMP has completed filming the SWAPO Documents of Peter Katjavivi.  Dr. Katjavivi was the SWAPO Secretary for Legal and Economic Affairs and later for Information and Publicity. The scope of the documents ranges from 1965-1988 and covers SWAPO reports, speeches, press releases, journals and pamphlets, correspondence and internal documents, as well as specific SWAPO issues. This collection is thought to be the largest individual collection of public information on SWAPO available. At the time of filming, Peter Katjavivi is the Vice Chancellor of the University of Namibia (UNAM).

The following is a brief guide to the collection currently being filmed.  For more details, please consult the reel guide and index, which is included on Reel #1 of the collection and also available from CAMP.
