FHYA selection from the Werner Series
Scope and Content
[Source - Nessa Leibhammer for FHYA, 2017, using Wikipedia: Alice Werner was a writer, poet, and teacher of the ‘Bantu’ language. After visiting Nyasaland in 1893 and Natal in 1894, much of her writings focused on African themes. She was a professor of Swahili and Bantu languages at the School of Oriental and African Studies and the University of London. The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge acquired some ethnographic material from Werner. The FHYA selection of this material consists of objects from the FHYA target area of KwaZulu-Natal and immediately adjacent regions.]
