ASC Seminar: How to make Africa visible: African collections in the British Library etc.

How to make Africa visible: African collections in the British Library and the West Africa exhibition of 2015-16. The British Library is the national library of the UK, and holds rich and very extensive collections on Africa. These comprise printed books, electronic resources, manuscripts and archives, newspapers, maps, sound recordings and stamps, and (to a lesser extent) photographs, prints & drawings, film and sheet music. These collections were at the core of the British Library’s recent major exhibition, ‘West Africa: Word, Symbol, Song’, which ran between October 2015 and February 2016.
