he University of Fort Hare, where archival records from African National Congress offices in 33 countries will be held, is the oldest traditionally black university in South Africa and alma mater of many African leaders, including Nelson Mandela. In 2000, building on the good will and confidence cultivated between the University of Connecticut and the African National Congress, the University of Connecticut teamed up with the University of Fort Hare in a partnership for reciprocal capacity building.

The linkage with the University of Fort Hare is multi-faceted, and involves an unprecedented number and variety of areas at the University of Connecticut: the Schools of Law and Education, the History department, the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Enrollment Management, the Center for Academic Programs, the Library, the Athletics department, and University Communications.
