African Government Gazettes

African government gazettes are like the U.S. Federal Register. Not like the Congressional Record which is similar to the British African government Hansards or Parliamentary Debates. However some early government gazettes carried minutes of legislative meetings. African gazettes contain the texts of new laws, decrees, regulations, international treaties, legal notices, court decisions, government appointments, etc.

To find Stanford's African government gazettes. In Searchworks Advanced

put in the country / government entity name as the Author
put in gazette, journal officiel, boletim, bollettino, etc. as the Title depending on the language of the country
for areas under two colonial governments such as Somalia and British Somaliland, you would use Bollettino and Gazette as the title for the respective govt.

The Center for Research Libraries (in Chicago) of which Stanford is a member has digitized selected African gazettes from Sub-Saharan Africa and North Africa
