Historical Geography Research at the Tanzania National Archives

Abstract

This article describes my successes and failures in conducting historical geography research at Tanzania's National Archives. At times searching for and accessing files was confusing and time-consuming, but I uncovered documents that helped me contextualize and ground data collected from complementary qualitative methodologies. During my research, I utilized all of the indexes available to researchers. Drawing from my experiences, I offer advice for future researchers to help them successfully navigate the archives.
