I like to introduce my new website project for digitally curating archival and other primary source documents on Africa that scholars of Africa own and like to make readily and freely accessible to the public.
Professor Ann O'Hear's collections and mine are the beginning of this project. I invite you and your African scholar friends to participate in populating this easy and readily accessible primary source portal with their archives. There is room to host your own collections too. If they are already in digital format, it makes the job easier, otherwise I plan to eventually digitize all copyright-free or copyright-waived electronic versions of materials sent to me and put them up on the site. If you are interested, please get in touch with me to work out appropriate arrangements.
I invite you to explore the website to see what you, your students, and all persons interested in primary sources on Africa can use in it and how you might contribute to the project. It is a many-phase project that is only just taking off, hence, please expect changes and updates to the materials in it and to the structure of the website for the next little while.
