American Universities have some of the largest collections of African books and archival materials. The histories of their acquisition and preservation are fascinating--connecting Christian missionaries, government agencies, and today’s librarians to a global network. As researchers in African Studies, we rely on the crucial resources that universities possess, and our work is shaped by the history and nature of these collections.
For this episode, Leslie and Gerardo interview two experts on the history of Yale University Library’s own African Collections: Roberta Doherty, current African Studies and Middle East Studies Librarian; and her predecessor, Dorothy Woodson, who has written on Yale’s collection history.
Music from RYYZN and Cody High
