Mandela Dossier at the African Studies Centre at Leiden

From the African Studies Centre at Leiden:

11 February 2010 marks 20 years since the apartheid regime of South
Africa unbanned the African National Congress and other liberation
movements, and released Nelson Mandela from prison. The Library,
Documentation and Information Department of the African Studies Centre
Leiden has compiled a web dossier to coincide with the 20th anniversary
of Mandela’s release. It contains titles on and by Nelson Mandela from
the library’s online catalogue, including monographs, articles, and
films. Each title links directly to the corresponding record in the
online catalogue, which provides a more detailed description of all
titles as well as abstracts of many articles and edited works. The
dossier concludes with a selection of links to relevant web sites.

This truly fabulous resource can be found here.
