Ethiopian Refugees in Kenya c.1937–1941: A Note on the Photo Collection at the Kenyan National Archive

Abstract

The Kenya National Archives in Nairobi hosts a large collection of photos of British refugee camps taken during the Italian occupation of Ethiopia. This brief overview of the collection does not endeavour to analyse this little-known aspect of Ethiopian history but to introduce the photo collection as a possible tool to assess the history of migration and refuge in this part of the world.
