Catalogue of Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm [Adapted from “Catalogue of Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm,” African Collection, Yale University Library, December 1979 ] August 2003 African Collection Cooperative Africana Microform Project Yale University The Center for Research Libraries Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm Introduction The Cooperative Africana Microform Project (CAMP) and the Yale University Library have acquired considerable numbers of Nigerian pamphlets on microfilm. There are now in toto approximately one thousand titiles in six separate collections, each of which has its own inventory or register. It was decided to compile a joint author index to all six collections, and in 1979, Yale University produced a printed index by interfiling all cards produced for each catalogue in one alphabetical sequence. This edition seeks to duplicate the organization of the original catalog in electronic form. The previous index was reproduced on photostat and was difficult to interpret. This edition has the advantage of being text- searchable through conventional electronic eans. This information contained herein was taken initally from the inventories with some editing. In some cases, examination of the original pamphlet would have aided in description, but this was not possible to do. As a result, some items may be presented as separate entities which are in fact supplements to or parts of other publications; also, some erroneous entries may occur, and typographical errors may have occurred in the process of conversion. The collections surveyed are listed below. Symbols are used in this catalog to identify the collection. The collections are: 1. AUTHOR University of Ibadan.

The collection concentrates on works published in the old eastern region of Nigeria and written by people of Ibo background OCLC # 24139921 CALL # MF-3874 SYMBOL: “OTTENBERG” The negative masters of these films are in the following locations: CAMP: 1, 2, 4, 5 Hoover Institution: 3, 6 Ibadan University: 1 (original negative) The pamphlets’ contents are varied in subject, language, provenance, and date. There are over 400 titles in the Ibadan University Library collection, consisting of most of the pre-1950 Nigerian historical, political, and religious pamphlets held there; these were supplemented by the filming of other pamphlets lent by visiting scholars, notably J.D.Y. Peel’s on the Aladura Church and Richard Sklar’s on politics. Collections 2 & 3 are similar in content to Ibadan’s, but 2 contains several very rare church pamphlets. The Rappaport collection consists mainly of Nigerian federal and Biafran government propaganda. The Colonial Office’s collection comprises well over 250 titles relating to Nigeria, mostly pre-World War II; a sizable part consists of offic ial publications, many of which are not listed in Sharon Burge Lockwood’s Nigeria: a guide to official publications (Washington: General Reference and Bibliography Division, Reference Department, Library of Congress, 1966). There are also numerous offprints from periodicals, especially West Africa. A complete inventory of the 24 reels was drawn up in 1974 by Duquesne University Library (price, $xx). There are three reels of Nigerian titles exclusively, but others – over a hundred, perhaps – were misclassified in London and occur in other sections. The Ottenberg collection contains about a dozen serials, is mostly on the Eastern States – especially on the Ibo, and mainly post-1950. 2 Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm There is some duplication of titles within collections, and perhaps five percent between collections. Most pamphlets are in English, but there are a few in other European languages. The Ibadan collection has about 50 items in Yoruba and a few in other Nigerian languages; the Ottenberg collection has a number of Ibo tit les. A few Ottenberg titles are over 100 pages in length and thus not, technically speaking, pamphlets. It is hoped later to identify other titles suitable for filming as additional series or collections. If anyone knows of any other collection of Nigerian pamphlets in microform, the compilers would be most grateful to have information on it. The acquisition of such material would perhaps be a possibility. Many titles in this catalog are not recorded in the bibliographies by C.C. Angolu (Nigeria: a comprehensive bibliorgaphy in the humaniies and social sciences, 1900-1971, Boston, G.K. Hall, 1973) and B.A. Oni-Orisan (A Bibliography of Nigerian History (preliminary draft), Ibadan, Historical Society of Nigeria, 1968), now no longer available but owned by CAMP and therefore available on loan. Other West African countries for which significant pamphlet collections have been filmed are the Gambia (Gamble collection, available from the Hoover Institution), Zaire (Herbert Weiss collection, held by CAMP), and Liberia (Porte, Cassell and Grimes collections, available from African Imprint Library Services and held by CAMP). All six collections surveyed in this catalog are owned by the Yale University Library and are housed in the Historical Manuscripts and Archives Division in Sterling Memorial Library. They are easily accessible to scholars, though they normally do not circulate o interlibrary loan as they are available from CAMP. Researchers at institutions that are members of CAMP and/or the Center for Research Libraries may borrow microfilm copies of any of the collections contained in this catalog by having the Interlibrary Loan section of their library submit a request to: Access Services Department Center for Research Libraries 6050 South Kenwood Avenue Chicago, IL 60637 773-955-4545 http://www.crl.edu For all requests, request the material by the collection name rather than by individual title. Include the call number (MF-…) and reel number where appropriate. 3 Nigerian Pamphlets on Microfilm Index The numbers in this index refer to the number found in the upper left-hand corner of each entry in the catalog.
