Archiving the US campus anti-apartheid movement

Abstract The author explains the history, priorities, and contents of the African Activist Archive Project (AAAP), a free website and digital archive of the Southern Africa solidarity movement in the United States from the 1950s to the 1990s. This article focuses on materials from the anti-apartheid movement on US campuses, identifying both strengths and weaknesses in what materials about campus-based activism are included in the AAAP archive and invites former activists to donate or lend additional materials. The article also makes observations about the US campus anti-apartheid movement and suggests areas of further research.
