Journal History

TAMBO Journal, established in 2023, is a prestigious peer-reviewed academic publication that stands as a collaborative effort of the Research Center for Manuscripts, Literature, and Oral Traditions, the Research Organization for Archeology, Language, and Literature, and the National Research and Innovation Agency. With its roots deeply embedded in the rich tapestry of Manuscripts, Literature, and Oral Traditions, this journal serves as a vital conduit for the dissemination and exchange of ideas.

The term "Tambo" harkens back to its original meaning, representing a profound historical literary genre. It intricately weaves the historical narratives of tribes, the genesis of nations, and the preservation of customs. This form of scholarly work finds its roots in traditional historiography, a practice that entails chronicling a nation's history in accordance with the beliefs and oral traditions of local communities passed down through generations. TAMBO Journal not only encapsulates these deep-seated traditions but also embarks on a journey to perpetuate and enhance the understanding of our shared historical legacies.
