KABAROLE DISTRICT ARCHIVES The Archives of Kabarole District, Western Uganda The Kabarole District Archives are the papers of local government in Fort Portal and its environs. At its core are the papers of the District Commissioner, who in colonial times was responsible for the whole operation of government within the region. There are also papers in the collection that originate from the office of the Provincial Commissioner (of Western Province). The papers are rich: there are files concerning the colonial (and postcolonial) judiciary; the conduct of elections in the late 1950s and early 1960s; the supervision and popularization of ‘traditional’ musical groups; and the conduct of the Rwenzururu war during the 1960s and 70s. Until 2010 the archive was kept in an attic above the local government building (called ‘Boma’), under a leaky roof. The papers were an extremely bad state: the cardboard boxes in which they were kept had been inhabited with wasps, and many boxes had been subjected to rain. In 2005 Dr. Derek Peterson cleared the attic of wasps with the aid of many cans of insecticide, and in 2008 two interns from the British Institute in Eastern Africa—working under Peterson’s direction—re-boxed the collection, made a catalogue, and placed the whole of it under plastic sheeting. In May and June 2010 the Kabarole archive was moved—with the permission of the District Local Government—to a new home at Mountains of the Moon University in Fort Portal. With funding from the Cooperative Africana Materials Project of the Center of Research Libraries and the University of Michigan, a staff of four people was hired to work on the care, cleaning, cataloguing and scanning of the archive. The team worked diligently under the direction of Mr. Evarist Ngabirano, and after two years of work, the collection had been wholly overhauled. The team has attempted to preserve the original structure of the archive. Where possible, files are classified according to the topical area with which they were originally identified (as indicated by the label on the front of the file). Where file covers have been torn away, the team has made its best guess as to the classification of the file. Following are the topical headings under which the archive is organized: JUD: Judiciary ADMIN: Administration RWE: Files concerning the Rwenzururu Movement P & C: Passports and Certificates CHIEF: Files concerning government chiefs, terms of employment EDU: Education V & A: Veterinary and Agriculture INFO: Information DEV: Development S & L: Sports and Leisure W & M: Water and Meteorology ELE: Elections RELIG: Religion Local Govt: Local Government Labour: Labour Trade: Trade Finance: Finance Tours: Tours and Tourism TRANS: Transport ASK: Askaris ARMS: Arms and Armaments MED: Medicine HR: Human Resources LAN: Land B & H: Buildings and Housing FOR: Forestry R & C: Roads and Communications MISC: Miscellaneous The cataloguing of the Kabarole District Archive was conducted in 2008 by Ms. Nikki Kindersley and Ms. Jyoti Upadhyay, and latterly in 2010 and 2011 by Mr. Akugizibwe Moses, Mr. Kimbugwe Adolph, Mr. Musinguzi Sylvester, and Ms. Baryabuza Anna, working under the district of Mr. Evarist Ngabirano.
