About The African Archives

Africa and its people are filled with rich history and dynamic cultures. Majority of the communities that inhabit the continent use oral communication, as such much of the history is undocumented. And as the custodians of our oral history pass on, more history is lost. The African Archives is dedicated to providing a space where African history, in all its forms - written, oral, pictorial, etc. can be preserved. The portal welcomes contributors.
