| 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 Aluka’s mission to connect resources and scholars from around the world. |
| Materials |
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. One of Aluka’s primary objectives is to provide African scholars and students with access to scholarly materials originally from Africa, but now out of their reach. |
