Africana Conference Paper Index
Northwestern's Africana collection (one of the Library's Collections of
Distinction) holds a large number of individual papers in Africana conference
proceedings written in Western European languages. These papers date from
the earliest period of the Africana collections to the present. AFRC provides
online access to these individual conference papers by author, paper title,
conference title, conference name, and the Dewey call number of the conference
proceeding.
Two catalogers and one library assistant recently indexed over 50,000
individual conference papers pertaining to Africa and the African diaspora.
This project is ongoing and conference papers will continue to be added
to the AFRC index.
To access the Africana Conference Paper Index:
- Connect to LUIS via NUcat
- At the "Database selection" prompt type AFRC
- Follow the menu instructions
