Abstract
The Department of Religious Studies at the University of Aberdeen contains two collections of materials of interest to Africanists. Both encompass a wider area than Africa, but in both the African materials are perhaps the most numerous and interesting.Andrew Walls, head of the Department, directs the Project for the Study of Christianity in the Non-Western World. There is a reading room (the Laws Room) and nn accumulating collection of mission magazines and journals, pamphlets, ephemeral materials, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs, and bibliographic aids. A wide range of current mission and church papers is received, including Catholic and Protestant publications from U.S.A., U.K., the Continent, and Africa. With the supporting collections in the University Library there is a good coverage of older mission journals. Manuscripts of Dr. Robert Laws (born in Aberdeen) have been donated to the Department by his daughter, with other materials relating to Livingstonia.
