This project is about the research material of Gerd Spittler collected in West Africa from 1967 onwards. It is not a project outlining a research programme, but a project dedicated to completed research. It is not limited to the Research Section Learning, but concerns the whole Cluster. The material includes texts (field notes, excerpts and copies from African archives), video material (6,000 photos), and audio material in Hausa and Tamacheck (tapes and cassettes).
