The Salvation Army International Heritage Centre has launched its first online catalogue. The Centre holds strong archival collections relating to the work of the Salvation Army in Africa.
See especially:
- The Salvation Army’s international administration, including the Africa Zonal Department (AFZ), Chief of the Staff’s Office (COS) and the General’s Office (GEN).
- ‘Overseas Territories’, such as Nigeria (NG), Zimbabwe (ZIM) and Zambia (ZAM).
- Books and pamphlets in the reference library, for instance those written by / about SA missionaries and various African ‘Territories’ (such as H/ZIM.4, X/BEC.101).
Only a small fraction of the SA’s total holdings are currently available via the catalogue; additional catalogue records will be added several times a year. Some of the work behind the catalogue is described in the Heritage Centre’s blog , which will be regularly updated with posts relating to the collections.
The Salvation Army International Heritage Centre comprises archives, a library and a museum. Its collections relate to the Salvation Army’s work worldwide.
