Between 1971 and 1989, ASWEA seminars were held with documents written up about each seminar. A group of social work academics, lead by Dr. Kreitzer from the University of Calgary, Faculty of Social Work, came across a set of documents that few people knew about. As it would transpire, these were the reports of the seminars of ASWEA. From 2004 onwards, Dr. Kreitzer then set out to find all seminar documents, which could not be located across the African continent, but were found in academic institutions in the United States, and compiled them in their entirety. With the help of funding provided by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW), these documents were printed and bound in 6 hardcopy volumes. The aim of this project was, through the dissemination of these documents, to give African institutions and individuals the opportunity to analyze these documents and use them in the classroom, thereby contributing to enhance the knowledge and information about African social work and adding to the global history of the profession of social work.
