Aluka
Aluka is an international,
collaborative initiative building an online digital library of
scholarly resources from and about Africa. The word ‘ aluka’
is derived from a Zulu word meaning ‘to weave’, reflecting
Aluka’s mission of joining together in a single place
resources from around the world. In the languages of northern
Namibia, the word has a complementary meaning of ‘to return’
or ‘to repatriate’, again reflecting the idea that through
modern technology dispersed materials can be made accessible
in their place of origin.
The Aluka Digital Library
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.
