NaLHISA
The National Liberation Heritage Institute of South Africa (NaLHISA) is an institution established by South Africa’s Liberation Movements with the main objective of collecting, collating, maintaining, and preserving all material produced by scholars, activists, and artists during the reign of the oppressive regime. This institution will assume legal custody of the archive material, on behalf of the people of South Africa.
At the time of the collection of the ANC Archive, the African National Congress was a liberation movement. The nature of the archive, then, reflects this reality.
To safeguard those involved in gathering the information and records that could further the objectives of the organisation, it was imperative that those gathering such information should remain anonymous. As a result, the creators of material held in the ANC Archives is often unknown and thus, unless otherwise stated, this asset is considered an orphan work and is made available to license on the basis that it is in the public good to enable the material to be used to tell the story of the ANC and of the liberation struggle in South Africa and around the world.
Wherever possible we would like to identify rights holders ensuring that they are correctly credited and that there is an agreement in place to enable us to license on their behalf. If you have any information that can contribute to identifying or locating the rights-holder(s) please notify african.pictures. Unless otherwise stated the default rights statement on material in the ANC Archive is "Unknown Rightsholder".
