In addition the project aims to provide experience and develop knowledge and expertise in digital imaging amongst archivists and librarians in this country ... The title of the project chosen is South Africa's Struggle for Democracy: Anti-Apartheid Periodicals, 1960-1990. It covers the three key decades in the growth of opposition to apartheid rule, a period when the African National Congress (ANC), black consciousness, and other resistance movements were very active. Approximately forty periodical titles have been selected from a very comprehensive list, with a view to presenting not only a wide spectrum of political views published during these years, but also a diversity of subjects such as trade unions, religion, health, culture, and gender. Publications reflecting both black and white viewpoints are included, and an attempt has been made to represent distinctive regional variations."

Enemies of War
"Throughout the 1980s, El Salvador - a country rich with coffee growers and rife with poverty - endured a brutal civil war, largely ignored by the international community. While the United States aid supplied the El Salvadoran army, its soldiers ravaged the countryside, killing civilians - many of them women and children ... In 1989, the horrific murder of six Jesuit priests and two women shocked the world into action. Following the U.S. investigation into the atrocity, ENEMIES OF WAR reveals the stories of people embarking on a seemingly impossible path to peace in a country suffering from war."

Living within 20 minutes of each other, these children are nevertheless locked in separate worlds.
