In the last two years African Photography Initiatives, a non-profit organization involved in various projects with the common goal of promoting Africa’s rich photographic heritage, have been working in and with the Press Photo Archives Buea, Cameroon. 1 The project received financial and institutional support from the British Library’s Endangered Archives Programme, the Swiss Federal Office of Culture and the Centre for African Studies, University of Basel. The project’s main goals were the protection/conservation and (partial) digitization of the archival holdings, to make the material known and accessible to a wider national and international audience, to sensitize the Cameroonian authorities for their cultural heritage and to promote research with visual records, in Cameroon and abroad, in particular photographs.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
