Ghana in Directory of Africa Organisations and Businesses in the Netherlands & Ghana-Holland 300 Years

We are pleased to inform you that the 2nd revised and substantially extended virtual edition of the DIRECTORY of AFRICAN ORGANISATIONS and BUSINESSES in the Netherlands has been been put online: http://www.africaserver.nl/africadirectory/index.html

The number of entries has grown from 280 to nearly 800. The number of categories has risen from 9 to13.

Categories are amongst others artists (painters, sculptors and musicians), professionals, trade and commerce and religion. We have focused mainly on Africans from Sub-Sahara Africa. However we made an effort to include especially Morocco.

The virtual Directory will be updated regularly.

The research for this edition has been conducted by Mindanda Mohogu. The Directory is a joint project with the African Studies Centre in Leiden which will publish in April the bookversion which concentrates solely on Sub-Sahara Africa. The Book can be ordered with mr. Karl Dorrepaal, phone 071- 527 3490 or preferably via his e-mail: dorrepaal@fsw.leidenuniv.nl. The Directory constitutes one of the many modules at the http://www.africaserver.nl.
