Abstract

Abstract: Researchers and scholars have written on the history of mining in Zambia using a variety of sources and archives. But much of the history written from local archives has relied heavily on the National Archives of Zambia. Yet, important archival holdings for researchers of the history of Zambia’s mining industry also exist in the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Archive, the United National Independence Party Archive, and in the Mineworkers’ Union of Zambia Headquarters. These repositories house rich collections of data invaluable for understanding Zambia’s mining industry. Covering the period from the 1890s to the present, these archives make possible new questions and interpretations of Zambia’s mining industry. Résumé: Des chercheurs de tous horizons ont écrit sur l’histoire de l’exploitation minière en Zambie en utilisant différentes sources et archives. Pourtant, ces historiens ont utilisé majoritairement des sources disponibles dans les archives locales des Archives nationales de Zambie. Cependant, il existe des archives importantes pour les historiens spécialistes de l’industrie minière de la Zambie dans les archives de la Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines, dans celles du United National Independence Party et dans celles du siège du Mineworkers’ Union of Zambia. Ces dépôts contiennent de riches fonds d’une valeur inestimable pour comprendre l’industrie minière zambienne. Couvrant la période des années 1890 à nos jours, ces archives permettent de poser de nouvelles questions et de formuler de nouvelles interprétations sur l’industrie minière zambienne.

摘要:研究人员和学者利用各种来源和档案撰写了赞比亚采矿史。但当地档案馆的许多历史与赞比亚国家档案馆有关。然而,赞比亚矿业历史研究人员的重要档案控股公司也存在于赞比亚铜矿综合档案馆、联合国家独立党档案馆和赞比亚总部矿工工会。这些存储库拥有丰富的无价数据集,有助于了解赞比亚的采矿业。这些档案涵盖了19世纪90年代至今,使赞比亚采矿业的新问题和解释成为可能。摘要:来自各行各业的研究人员利用不同的来源和档案撰写了赞比亚采矿历史。然而,这些历史学家主要使用赞比亚国家档案馆地方档案馆的资料。然而,赞比亚联合铜矿、联合民族独立党和赞比亚矿工工会总部的档案中有赞比亚采矿业历史学家的重要档案。这些矿床包含丰富的资金,对了解赞比亚采矿业具有不可估量的价值。这些档案涵盖了19世纪90年代至今,为赞比亚采矿业提出了新的问题和新的解释。
