African Newspapers Database Explores Slave Trade, Independence Movements
Enhance your research of the history and cultures of Africa with the World News Archive: African Newspapers. This database provides online access to more than 40 papers, published between 1800 and 1922. African Newspapers features titles from Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Languages include English, German, French, Portuguese, Afrikaans, Xhosa, Sotho, and others.
This collection presents opportunities for entirely new avenues of research. Search for keywords, phrases, names, places or events across a turbulent period of colonization, slave trade, tribal and imperial conflict, and the birth of independence movements.
Access to this and other collections of world newspapers, government documents, theses and dissertations, and a growing collection of online materials is a membership privilege of the Center for Research Libraries. The Center for Research Libraries is an international not-for-profit consortium of colleges, universities and libraries, including the University of Arkansas Libraries, that makes scholarly research resources available to users everywhere.
