WHAT'S NEW

Added: "Rhodesia Accuses" in Online Books.

New in Journals of the Rhodesiana Society

Added: Volumes 5,6,7

Publications of the Rhodesiana Society, from volume one, published in 1957, to volume 40, published in 1979, after which the Rhodesiana Society effectively ceased to exist. During its lifetime the Society published a yearly journal which collectively amount to around 3,000 pages of articles on Rhodesian history. The scanning and OCR work involved in putting these journals online is considerable and will take some time to complete, but ultimately all 40 issues will be available.
With special thanks to Mike Jesson, who loaned me his rare and valuable copies of the first decade of "Rhodesiana" for this project!
