The National Archives were established by an Act of Parliament in 1935, now known as the National Archives Act 1986. The Archives are the storehouse of the nation's documented history. They include the archives of the former Southern Rhodesia, and are formed of a network of five regional archives divided into eight provinces. From 1953-1963, they were the central repository of the National Archives of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.[2]
Its Audiovisual Unit was established in 1988. Its collect encompasses 15,000 audiovisual materials about Zimbabwe.[3] Its Oral History Programme collects and preserves oral interviews of people whose contribution to Zimbabwean history has been considerable but under-documented.[4]
