Libraries in Lesotho

[4] The Thomas Mofolo Library, situated in the University of Lesotho, in the village of Roma, about 34 km from Maseru,[3] is larger, with a collection of around 170,000 volumes as of 2007.

[4] The National Archives are housed in the basement of the library at the University of Lesotho.

They contain a wide range of material, including newspapers dated back to the early 20th century and almost a full collection of Basutoland Annual Colonial reports.

Though many official court documents have been lost, significant material from the colonial period remains.

[5] The Morija collection contains an array of colonial documents and newspapers from Basutoland, including early editions of the Naledi newspaper, and documents of the Proceedings of the Basutoland National Council and annual colonial reports.
