Description

CRL’s collection of African-related resources contains a wide variety of newspapers, monographs, archival collections, serials, government publications, and dissertations, spanning four centuries and covering virtually every country in Africa. Significant country strengths include South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In addition, materials related to Africa are collected from sources in the U.S., England (particularly from the British Library and National Archives), France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, and others. The major institutional focus for the collection of Africana at CRL has been provided by the Cooperative Africana Materials Project (CAMP). CAMP acquires major microfilm sets and conducts original microfilming and digitization of resources for preservation and wider accessibility. These collections provide a depth of content that augment CRL’s scholarly resources.
