Abstract:This article focuses on the uses of the archive in contemporary Zimbabwe by individuals and families making claims to chieftaincy. A reading of the colonial archive on chieftainship histories reveals that there is an information gap especially for some years. For instance, from the 1960s to the present, there are relatively few documents specifically relating to the subject of chiefs and headmen in Zimbabwe. As a result, researchers working on chieftainships, hired historians, and claimants to chieftaincy face a frustrating challenge of limited sources. This article analyzes the sourc

Archives are a very important part of any given community, yet they may be silent on some critical histories. Perpetrators of genocides have usually resorted to denying or even trivialising such atrocities. They go on to silence genocide voices and these silences translate to the absence of records and archives on such topics. Like Rwanda, post-independence Zimbabwe fell victim to a genocide which was executed by the ZANU PF government in Matabeleland and Midlands Provinces.

South Africa is one of the few countries in Africa that has a running oral history association. In some countries, especially in southern Africa, these oral history associations have arisen and then died a natural death. For example, Oral Traditions Association of Zimbabwe (OTAZI) did not last long. Therefore, it is a positive development for South Africa to have a functioning oral history association.

Abstract. In semi-arid savannas, the availability of surface water constrains movements and space-use of wild animals. To accurately model their movements in relation to water selection at a landscape scale, innovative methods have to be developed to i) better discriminate water bodies in space while characterizing their seasonal occurrences and ii) integrate this information in a spatially-explicit model to simulate animal movements according to surface water availability. In this study, we propose to combine satellite remote sensing (SRS) and spatial modelling in the case of the African buff

Abstract:
Purpose The idea of convergence of cultural institutions, especially the libraries, archives and museums (LAMS) to operate as one, has a long theoretical history which unfortunately has not been translated into practice. This subject has been discussed by a number of scholars but the implementation has just remained theoretical with only a few countries practically adopting such an organisational structure. In Africa, this concept of LAMS is yet to gain traction. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is aimed at proposing such LAMS structures for African nations, especially in Zimbabwe and Sout

Abstract:
This research on use and management of email in Zimbabwe's central government revealed a number of shortfalls in the manner official email were used and managed. Lapses in the application of the legal, policy and procedural frameworks coupled with email skills deficiencies and use of inappropriate information and communication technologies resulted in poor management of email. A lot of official emails were lost, fragmented, inappropriately disposed and difficult to access. This led to the development, by the authors, of a framework to improve the use and management of email which bordered on t

Abstract This article discusses the manner in which Zimbabwe’s faltering economy affects the functioning of the National Archives of Zimbabwe (NAZ). It also looks at the NAZ access regimes, ethical and professional issues, and their ramifications on archivist-researcher relations. It observes that the conflict of interest between the mandate of archivists to preserve and conserve archives and researchers’ need for access to archives at the NAZ occasionally complicates researcher-archivist interaction. This is because, as professionals and government employees, archivists must follow ethical st

Sound and audiovisual archives are critical media for the storage and preservation of an institution or a country’s intellectual and cultural heritage. As the world moves towards the knowledge economy it becomes imperative for all countries to prioritise the proper management of sound and audiovisual archives as a way to preserve cultural capital for posterity. This paper will examine the strategies that are in place to facilitate easier access to sound and audiovisual archives.

In fact, email is no longer used for communication purposes only, but it is also as an official record in business transactions.

This article identifies and discusses factors that motivate Zimbabwe’s central government in using email as an official record in day-today business.

Abstract:
This study seeks to examine the institutional and legal frameworks supporting the digitisation of records and archives at two selected state universities in Zimbabwe. The digitisation of records and archives has become a de-facto process at all state universities around the world as the move from paper-based to cloud-based records storage takes centre stage. In Zimbabwe, state universities, apart from their own legislative Acts, operate under the statutory requirements of the National Archives of Zimbabwe Act (Chapter 25:06) of 1986 as amended by Act 22 of 2001. It is a fact that the digitisat

Oral history collections are vital assets that represent national heritage. While transcribed collections are kept in a proper archival repository at the Bulawayo National Archives, the audio-visual collections are kept unprocessed and unprotected in unsuitable housing such as cardboard boxes within the Principal Archivist’s office. Storage conditions are not conducive and therefore, unbearable. The study, therefore, explored issues relating to how national heritage contained in oral history collections can be protected through conservation at the institution.

However, documentation relating to the contribution made by ZPRA in the liberation struggle is scarce. Future generations have to know and understand the role played by ZPRA; and thus, there is a need for memory in the form of documents to highlight the role and contribution of ZPRA. The ZPRA Trust has highlighted the need to document its role in the liberation of Zimbabwe. This study, therefore,
