Histoire administrative
The Anti-Apartheids Beweging Nederland (AABN) (Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement) was formed in 1971. Among those involved in the founding was a South African, the Afrikaner Berend Schuitema. The organization focused on the liberation struggle in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and South Africa. The AABN supported the African National Congress and various solidarity campaigns for divestment from companies doing business in South Africa and the release of political prisoners. AABN also campaigned in support of the arms, oil and cultural boycotts of South Africa. In 1997 it was one of three organizations which had been active as supporters of the anti-apartheid that merged to form the Netherlands Institute on Southern Africa (NiZA).
Histoire archivistique
These photographs originally were part of the photo collections of the Dutch Anti-Apartheid Movement (AABN) and consequently the Institute for Southern Africa (IZA), which merged with other Dutch Southern Africa solidarity organisations into the Netherlands institute for Southern Africa (NiZA) in 1997. Other parts of the NiZA-collections with photographs on Southern Africa and solidarity activities in the Netherlands are processed in IISH collections 00150 and 00151.
The Netherlands institute for Southern Africa (NiZA) photo collection was transferred to the International Institute of Social History (IISH) in March 2008 and processed in 2008-2009. A significant part of the photo's were scanned in 2012 within the framework of an archival transfer project in coöperation with the ANC archives and other archives in South Africa.
