What is in This Collection?
This collection contains images and indexes to death certificates of persons who died in Zimbabwe. From 1965 to 1979 Zimbabwe was known as Rhodesia.
Zimbabwe was formerly known as Southern Rhodesia and became independent from Great Britain on April 18, 1980. Even though civil registration was established in 1890 it did not become mandatory until after independence. Birth registration began in 1891 and death registration in 1904. Birth and death registrations did not include African tribal members until 1963. Birth and death certificates are currently registered through district registries in each town or city, but all records are kept at the National Archives in Harare.
Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
