Newspapers from Africa
NAI library subscribed to various daily newspapers in print up to the middle of 2000s. Due to the increase of daily news available on the internet as well as the many problems connected with the distribution of daily newspapers, the library ceased its subscriptions. The access to older newspapers is important for research on Africa and several titles are unique. Titles are added to the collection by occasional donations.
