H-Metro (Harare, Zimbabwe)

Tabbed

Description & Rationale

This project would microfilm holdings of H-Metro collected by the Library of Congress Field Office in Nairobi, Kenya. The holdings include September 2009 - July 2015 (approximately 27,000 page).

Reasons for consideration:

An English-language newspaper from Zimbabwe with the motto 'Real Life, Real Drama', this newspaper covers local news, social life, entertainment, sports, and more.

H-Metro is one of the many newspapers from Zimbabwe that have been stockpiled in the Nairobi office for almost a decade. Most of the older issues are yellowed and brittle and might soon perish if no immediate action is taken.
