Lemmer Collection Introduction Biography and provenance Dr Cecil Joseph Cloete Lemmer (1900-1955) was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and educated at Grey University College. He served as teacher, and later as Inspector of Schools in Namibia. Editor of the teacher's journal Educa, 1933-. The C.J.C. Lemmer High School in Rehoboth is named after him. Besides his teaching profession, Lemmer had a keen interest in history and heritage. He was a founding member of SWA Scientific Society, served as its secretary and as its President 1937-1939. He was a founding member and first chairman of the Historical Monuments Commission, 194-, and Chairman of the SWA Place Names Committee. He also served as Chairman of the Commission of Enquiry into the Collection, Preservation and Provision of South West Africana, 1953. Lemmer was an avid collector of books and manuscripts on Namibian history, and after his death his collection – books, manuscripts, and autographs - was purchased from the family in 1957 for deposit in the Archives, on the initiative of the Archivist J.H. Esterhuyse and the Librarian of the Administration. The purchase to the amount of £1,600 was authorised by the Executive Committee of the Legislative Assembly.1 The Namibiana book collection was apparently bought by Lemmer mostly from antiquarian booksellers. The catalogues and notes shelved as numbers L.1107-1132 bear testimony to his efforts. The provenance of the manuscripts and autographs is more difficult to establish. Occasionally, donations from individuals are documented in correspondence filed with the autographs (see items L.1142, L.1144, L.1159). There is also reason to believe that Lemmer received, from missionary Heinrich Vedder, some items from the Maharero Archives which were not included in Vedder’s selection of “The Maharero Papers” (NAN Accession A.3). However, the provenance of many significant items, including several letters of the Witbooi correspondence and the items related to the farmers and traders Walser and Hill, remains entirely uncertain. Lemmer’s private correspondence, which might provide further insights, was not part of the material purchased from the family. Processing and Cataloguing For unknown reasons, the collection as a whole was initially not accessioned formally as a "Private Accession". However, individual litems were catalogued on the Archives Library card catalogue, while a number of items were taken into the photo and map 1 File ARG [12] 28/8 4 A.769 Lemmer Collection: Published literature collections and catalogued accordingly. In 1993, Section I was re-catalogued on the NAMLIT and ARCAT databases, while the diminishing use of the card catalogue meant that the public visibility of the archival items of Section II decreased until it was re- catalogued in the ACCPT database in 2007. A rather brief listing, probably compiled by archivist Esterhuyse and the Administration Librarian in 1956, served throughout the years as a finding aid and stocktaking list. This allows an approximate dating of some of the losses from the collection. In 2004, the collection was accessioned as A.0769. The re-cataloguing in 2007 also added some previously unrecorded and unnumbered items to the list.2 During the relocation of parts of the Archives library in December 2010, some items that were previously reported as missing were found again, most notably several 19th-century letters housed in a box containing items encapsulated in polyester foil. Please take note that all individual items can be searched through the databases NAMLIT and ARCAT (for library material), ACCPT (for archival items), MAP (for maps) and PHOTO (for photos). Some items have been digitised. This is noted in this finding aid and on the databases. Restrictions The originals of digitised items are not issued to users. Also, some periodicals in the accession which are duplicating titles that are also available in Archives Library periodicals collection are not being issued to users. A number of further items require special authorisation by the Head of Archives for viewing, either for preservation reasons or because they are theft-endangered collectors’ items. Notes on further related material Before his death, Lemmer had already donated some material to the Archives (Accession A.023), being mainly newscuttings on biography and local history, and minutes of the Historical Monuments Commission and the Place Names Committee. Lemmer’s Estate is filed as EST vol.1367, file 34/1956. His staff file from the Administration for South West Africa, covering only his last few years as Chief Inspector of Schools, is filed as EDU [381] file 1/14/5/2.

Note: Section II, Archival items, also contains some published literature. Also, some items have been removed from Section I to Section II because of their especially fragile nature.

    ADDRESSING THE TOBACCO EPIDEMIC IN LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES: BEST PRACTICES THAT REDUCE THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO ADVERTISING, PROMOTION AND SPONSORSHIP By LORNA MCLEOD ENGLISH (Under the Direction of Joel Lee) ABSTRACT Tobacco use is leading cause of preventable death in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that by 2030 tobacco use will kill over 8 million people annually. Eighty percent of the world’s smokers now live in low and middle income countries (LMIC) compared to 20 percent in developed countries. A primary reason for increased smoking in these countries is the tobacco industry’s targeted and aggressive marketing of cigarettes; billions of dollars are spent annually on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship (TAPS). In 2003, the WHO negotiated the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) to prevent the death and disease associated with tobacco use. The FCTC treaty calls for countries to enact comprehensive policies that ban TAPS and inform their populations about dangers of tobacco use. The treaty is founded on proven interventions that countries can implement to protect their population from the epidemic. The objective of this research is to examine tobacco-related policies in LMIC to assess their impact on smoking behaviors. The first study reviewed the impact of TAPS exposure and anti-TAPS policies on students’ smoking behavior in African LMIC. The second study examined the impact of anti-TAPS policies and counter-tobacco messages on male smoking behavior in Thailand and Turkey. The findings suggest that there is an association between TAPS exposure and increased smoking and susceptibility in the youth studied.

    Blumea 65, 2020: 126–161 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/blumea.2020.65.02.06 The botanical exploration of Angola by Germans during the 19th and 20th centuries, with biographical sketches and notes on collections and herbaria E. Figueiredo1, *, G.F. Smith1, S. Dressler 2 Key words Abstract A catalogue of 29 German individuals who were active in the botanical exploration of Angola during the 19th and 20th centuries is presented. One of these is likely of Swiss nationality but with significant links to German Angola settlers in Angola. The catalogue includes information on the places of collecting activity, dates on which locations botanical exploration were visited, the whereabouts of preserved exsiccata, maps with itineraries, and biographical information on the German explorers collectors. Initial botanical exploration in Angola by Germans was linked to efforts to establish and expand Germany’s plant collections colonies in Africa. Later exploration followed after some Germans had settled in the country. However, Angola was never under German control. The most intense period of German collecting activity in this south-tropical African country took place from the early-1870s to 1900. Twenty-four Germans collected plant specimens in Angola for deposition in herbaria in continental Europe, mostly in Germany. Five other naturalists or explorers were active in Angola but collections have not been located under their names or were made by someone else. A further three col- lectors, who are sometimes cited as having collected material in Angola but did not do so, are also briefly discussed. Citation: Figueiredo E, Smith GF, Dressler S.

The plant genus Strelitzia occurs naturally in the eastern parts of southern Africa. It comprises three arborescent species, known as wild bananas, and two acaulescent species, known as crane flowers or bird-of-paradise flowers. The logo of the South African National Biodiversity Institute is based on the striking inflorescence of Strelitzia reginae, a native of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal that has become a garden favourite worldwide. It symbol- ises the commitment of the Institute to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people.
