The Carl Schlettwein Foundation supports scholarly projects and events with a connection to Namibia or southern Africa. Projects and events are always considered in the context of the activities of the Carl Schlettwein Foundation and also involve Basler Afrika Bibliographien wherever possible.
Of particular interest are projects that aim to review archive material or prepare new acquisitions to make them accessible to the scholarly community, interested members of the public and future generations. These projects normally include an outreach aspect. As a rule these materials are then passed on to Basler Afrika Bibliographien and the National Archives of Namibia in Windhoek.
Application criteria

- Thematic focus on history and cultures of southern Africa
