PULA Journal of African Studies, vo.l11 nO.2 (1997) A checklist and subject index of history and archaeology dissertations and research essays submitted at the University of Botswana, 1976-1998 Geoffrey Barei, Maitseo Bolaane, Kofi Darkwah, Neil Parsons, Alinah Segobye*, & Kevin Shillington** * Department of History, University of Botswana; **Freelance author, London & Dorsteshire, England Abstract Four MA dissertations and 222 BA research essays are listed alphabetically, and indexed by reference number under three subject categories-geographical area (by district, etc.), ethnic group, and a general subject index of 42 headings. All but 31 of the 226 alphabetical entries contain research solely on Botswana: the other countries being South Africa (12 entries), Zimbabwe (II), Namibia (6), Angola and Zambia (I each). The most researched district of Botswana is Central (54 entries), followed by Kgatleng and Kweneng (25 each), North-East (24), South-East (16), Southern (9), Ngamiland (6), Chobe and Ghanzi (3 each), and Kgalagadi (2). The subject index of 29 ethnic groups ranges from Afrikaners (2 entries) and Amandebele (2) through Babirwa (7), Bakalanga (24), Bakgatla (27), Bakhalagari (4), Bakwena (21), Bangwato (19), Basarwa (5), and Batlharo (I), to Indians (3) and Ovambanderu (2). The general subject index ranges from Administration (29 entries), Agriculture (18), and Archaeology (21), through Biography (28), Cattle (7), Chieftainship (27), Class formation (7), Councils (7), Economic development (23), Education (14), and Heritage management (7), to Labour and labour migration (7), Medicine (4), Nationalism (13), Religion (15), Serfdom, servitude and slavery (7), Settlement history (19), Trade and commerce (13), Trade unions (6), and Urbanization (IS). With the notable exception of one MA dissertation, there is a lack of cultural studies which may partly be attributed to research being done instead under the aegis of other departments in the Faculty of Humanities. Introduction This checklistl and subject index, covering the academic years 1976-77 to 1997-98, has been compiled so as to make this body of research more readily available to further scholarship-particularly now that the Department of History (including Archaeology & Museum Studies) will be offering the research degrees ofM.Phil and Ph.D. The checklist consists largely of B.A. research essays, submitted by undergraduate History or Archaeology Major students at the end of their fourth year after field research and a number of seminar presentations. Bound typescript copies of dissertations and research essays are deposited in the Botswana Collection of the University of Botswana Library (some bound with notes of oral interviews) and in the Botswana National Archives, Gaborone. As can be seen below, eight research essays have been subsequently published in an academic journal or book (entries BA-26, 59, 95, Ill, 154, 158, 193, & 199). 177 Geographical Index referring to entry numbers of alphabetical listing below Angola BA-86.
