Nnamdi Azikiwe, (1904-1996) was the first president of independent Nigeria (1963–66). His personal papers include a draft of his memoirs, state papers from his presidency (1960-1966), and political material related to the Republic of Biafra. These collected papers are currently held in his family's home in Nsukka, Nigeria. This digital collection includes these materials as well as records from Azikiwe's two presidential campaigns in 1979 and 1983.
The Instituto de Lengua y Cultura Aymara’s archive on the Aymara language and culture from the mid twentieth century to the present was collected in Bolivia, Chile and Peru. Materials include early pamphlets and newspapers, fieldwork recordings including speech and songs, fieldwork notes and transcriptions, documentation on Aymara regional variants, and teaching materials, some concerning intercultural bilingual education in Bolivia and elsewhere.
This collection includes materials related to the critically endangered Vaihoho sung-stories of the Fataluku people of Timor-Leste. Vaihoho are considered the Fataluku’s most valued repertoire, as the major form of their continuing oral tradition. From 1999-2014, cultural leader Justino Valentim (deceased), recorded a significant amount of vaihoho material. Up until 2019 this handwritten collection was stored in exercise books at his family home. In danger of vanishing with the last of the knowledge-holders, the collection was digitally recorded and archived, to honour Justino Valentim’s intention to keep the oral tradition alive for future generations so they would know their own culture. The collection consists of 17 sung poems gathered from Fataluku communities across the Lautem region of Timor-Leste and 5 Fataluku language dictionaries. Digitized as part of the Modern Endangered Archives Program. Projetu ne'e apoia prezervasaun Kantigu vaihoho ema Fataluku iha Timor Leste neebe amiasadu atu sai lakon.
