3.3 Poster collection: 1500 posters (many of which have one or several spare copies)
After selecting the posters additional to the IISH collection, some 1100 posters were transferred to the institute, processed into the IISH catalogue system and almost all of them scanned. You can see a list of these by using the search function of the IISH website. Search for: poster niza.
Over 700 of these posters originate from Southern Africa - mainly South Africa (470), i.c. including the posters produced by the ANC c.s. outside South Africa because the organisations were banned in South Africa (1970s and 1980s). Yet, also Angola (100) and Mozambique (70) feature well; some 200 of these posters were produced in The Netherlands.
At NiZA still a large number of spare copies of these posters is available, whose destination has not been decided yet; for more information, please contact: ksc@iisg.nl

With this addition, the total number of posters at the IISH from or dealing with Southern Africa now ranges around 3000 - the biggest part of these scanned as well.
