This annotated guide to the Dutch archives on Ghana and West Africa in the "Nationaal Archief" offers a comprehensive overview of available sources. Part I describes the archival materials in detail. Part II discusses the history of the Dutch in Ghana and selected themes from Ghana's history. A bibliography and a name, geographical, and thematical index conclude the guide. |
