Summary:

"This English language database indexes over 33,000 articles from over 280 English language and multi-lingual journals and periodicals that specialize in African Studies or consistently cover the African continent. The titles were originally chosen from the library at California State University-Chico and that number were later expanded by using materials from Northwestern University and other major university libraries as well as the Library of Congress...Of the over 280 journals and periodicals indexed, more than half have ceased being published. Until the mid-1960's few Africana journals were indexed in major indexing tools. This work hopes to fill the gap by indexing Africana materials from the mid-nineteenth century to today all in one index...The titles indexed in this database represent Africana materials published in from over 22 nations within North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia."--About this database page.
