Further information on the audio-visual materials of the Anti-Apartheid and Southern Africa collection
3.1/2 Photo collections AABN, EMS, KZA, NiZA
More than 13.500 photograqphs from these collections were transferred to the IISH - all photographs from Southern Africa or on anti-apartheid and southern Africa solidarity activities in the Netherlands and internationally. The vast majority of these photographs were processed in groups and described in three lists, yet some 400 photographs were individually processed, described and scanned and can be found as such on the IISH website (obviously in low resolution).
You can see a list of these by using the search function of the IISH website. Search for: photo niza. The first three results present the three lists mentioned above, hence follows a series of photo exhibitions from the NiZA collection (see also 3.4) and consequently the individually processed photographs are being presented.
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.

These lists present - in chronological order, with the call number in the IISH collection and with a link to the scanned illustration of the poster - all the posters produced respectively by the South Africa Committee/Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement/Broadcasting for Radio Freedom (almost 150) and Angola Committee/Holland Committee on Southern Africa/Eduardo Mondlane Foundation (some 200) - both lists in Dutch only.
