Carleton University and the MacOdrum Library are pleased showcase the Ugandan Asian Archive Collection on September 29, 2016.

The Ugandan Asian Archive Collection gives insight into the 1972 South Asian expulsion from Uganda and the subsequent resettlement in Canada. The event will showcase extensive archival material as well as oral histories that have been donated to the archival collection in the MacOdrum Library.

Mr. Molloy was second in command at the Kampala office of the Canadian Mission during the time of the expulsion.
