Launching in 2022, Africa Bibliography, Research and Documentation brings together essay content from Africa Bibliography, the authoritative guide to works in African studies published under the auspices of the International African Institute annually since 1984, with the former African Research & Documentation, the journal of SCOLMA (the UK Libraries and Archives Group on Africa) published since 1973.

Africa Bibliography, Research and Documentation publishes articles and book reviews on topics relating to research, libraries, archives and publishing in and on Africa, and in African Studies.

Africa Bibliography, Research and Documentation is provided as part of a subscription to the Africa Bibliography. From 2022, the bibliography will be published as an online database only. The online consolidated database version of the bibliography brings together every record collected since its foundation, producing a rich and interactive resource for all scholars interested in the study of Africa. The database version will from 2022 be published online with some 6,000-8,000 entries added annually.

This journal is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of its managers and owners, the International African Institute.

SCOLMA directory SCOLMA encourages the sharing of information about libraries and special collections on Africa in the UK and through Europe. We published our first print directory in 1963, and followed it with 4 updated editions over the next 30 years. A current directory of libraries and special collections can now be found at Africa Desk, where we encourage libraries to add and update their details.
