Most Catholic parishes of the Dioceses of Kasama, Mpika, Mansa and
Chipata were opened by the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers). The
archives at FENZA contain diaries of most Parishes, some of them dating
back 100 years and more. They provide a glimpse into the day to day living of
people and missionaries, and also give eye-witness accounts of a number of
key-events that marked Zambian history.
The archives contain also early publications, correspondence, private
diaries, historical documents, notes and dictionaries of several Zambian
languages, photos, drawings, newspaper cuttings, instructions of pastoral
policies, reports, and a number of relevant but unpublished scholarly
research works. A number of researchers have left to the archive also their
field notes and other materials.
The archives are for consultation only.
A fee will be asked for accessing the archives & an additional fee for using
digital cameras. This is necessary to help us maintain the archives.
A temporal catalogue (dated June 2007) can be downloaded (use the search
function in MS-Word to browse through it).
