Africana Notes and News was a research journal put out by the forerunner to Museum Africa, between 1943 and 1993. Selected articles are now available online.
Earliest use of the term 'Africana'
An earlier use in print of the term "Africana" has been found, dating the word to May 1902, in The Diamond Fields Advertiser.
Egersdörfer's coloured postcards
There are several postcards and sketches in the Africana Museum by the artist Heinrich Egersdörfer that give an insight into life in South African in the early days.
Early sketches by Dingley
Soon after the British took control of the Cape, Ensign RH Dingley came to the colony. His drawings and journal are valuable records of the time.
