Local history in Ethiopia

The concept of this work is to make extracts from printed external sources and to sort them geographically and chronologically. It concerns environment and events in the countryside of Ethiopia mainly from the early 1800s and onwards. The special effort is to shed light on places which are seldom mentioned in print and to make searchable the contents of various published sources.

The work was compiled by Bernhard Lindahl in 2005. In 2008 the work was updated with new data.
