NUMBER OF VOLUMES STILL TO BE PUBLISHED

The number of volumes still to be published cannot be envisaged. It was agreed that the concept of "completion" of the project of publication of source material for African history, or even of an agreed list of priority texts, is not applicable to a venture which is by its nature open-ended. Unless sufficient alternative outlets for source publication became operational (Internet publication etc.), there seems little prospect of the FHA project in its current form becoming redundant in the foreseeable future.
