AFRICAN HISTORY
DigITal Document Portal
Primary Source Document Archives
AH_digITal Document Portal project will curate electronic and digitized copies of historical documents and field research materials, archives, and other sources of information that scholars & researchers of Africa have collected over many years of their work. These resources will include copies of field notes, manuscripts, rare books, magazines, pamphlets, pictures and images, and transcripts of interviews, songs, and other audio and visual documents covering periods from before colonization of Africa up until the recent past.
The Dr. Ann O’Hear Archive follows the story of Ann’s long engagement with the subject of slavery and related practices from the 1980s to the second
decade of the twenty-first century.
Its particular focus is on the city and region of Ilorin in Kwara State, Nigeria
In his research, Dr. Kolapo has worked with documents of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) agents in 19th century West Africa, including diaries, journals, and travel reports of
many missionaries like Bishop Samuel Adjai Crowther and his Upper Niger Mission agents. He has also worked with Colonial Office and Foreign Office documents relating to the 19th-century British expeditions to the Niger and the Benue rivers and with documents relating to the colonization of Nigeria. AH_DigITalPortal project will host electronic and digital copies of these documents.
