Found today that Hathi Trust has the South African House of Assembly parliamentary debates from the 1920s and 1950s online and searchable. Game changer for my part of the @colmigproject.bsky.social project!

Just finished a great month of fieldwork in Arizona for @colmigproject.bsky.social — 21 interviews which have given me lots to think about. While at the state capitol I also saw this painting (second image: Megargee, “The Spirit of Arizona,” 1913) which is the most colonial I’ve ever seen in AZ

Some of the work we are doing.
This is something that our project, led by @mcslaven.bsky.social, is interested in, looking at how border control systems developed concurrently across the world in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Places like Ottoman Empire and South America were developing similar controls to W Europe, Nth America & Oz
