African Archives Project

Wood Carving

The Africa Archives Project (AAP) consists of diverse projects devised by and relevant to Princeton faculty engaged in the work of archiving and memory in and around Africa. The core idea and outcome are a digital archive hosted at Princeton and accessible to scholars and researchers everywhere. While components of this archive would document the past, some will exist as “living” platforms that would grow with time, as new, relevant materials were deposited. The AAP supports physical archives projects on the African continent.
