This work was originally begun in September of 1974 as an effort to index
all the issues of each periodical/journal title and place them all in one
source. Of the over 200 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.

This English language database indexes over 26,000 articles from over 200
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.
Each title is indexed from its first day of publication to the present or,
either its date of ceasing or a date where the journal or periodical no
longer covered Africa on
a regular basis. In only in a few cases were titles dropped due to the
difficulty in obtaining copies or irregularities in the journal's
publishing schedule. |
