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.
