| Description: | Aluka is an international, collaborative initiative building an online digital library of scholarly resources from and about Africa. ‘Aluka’, is derived from a Zulu word meaning ‘to weave’, reflecting our commitment to connect resources and scholars from around the world. In 2008, we announced that Aluka became part of JSTOR, a not-for-profit organization building trusted digital archives for the global scholarly community. The Aluka website includes a wide variety of high-quality scholarly materials contributed by Aluka’s partners, ranging from archival documents, periodicals, books, reports, manuscripts, and reference works, to three-dimensional models, maps, oral histories, plant specimens, photographs, and slides. By aggregating these materials online, the Aluka collections link materials that are widely dispersed and difficult to access,opening up new opportunities for research,teaching, and broader public discussion. African Cultural Heritage Sites and Landscapes- Photographs, three-dimensional models, GIS data, and rock art images linked to contextual materials such as excavation reports,manuscripts, travelogues, maps, site plans,and scholarly research. |
