Khama III Memorial Museum takes off

Through the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation, U.S. Embassy will provide the museum with a grant of 78,000 dollars – or 710,000 Pula – to preserve numerous Khama Family manuscripts and Bessie Head’s literary collections, as well as make much needed structural repairs to the building that houses the archives and extend the library to create a reading room. 

These collections of documents are of valuable historical, cultural and literary significance, and by maintaining them, the museum can create a legacy to ensure future generations understand the post-colonial period in Botswana and the region.
