Africa Commons - Available to Cambridge staff and students using your Raven login: this is a project to digitize, disseminate, and discover African cultural materials. Our aim is to enable Africa easily to control, digitize, and disseminate its archival riches—those within Africa and items residing internationally. We help preserve African content and enable African scholars easily to find and access expressions of their heritage in Western collections.
