News & Events

To mark the Africa Knows! conference (2 December - 28 February), the ASCL Library has compiled a web dossier on Africa’s role in knowledge and innovation. The dossier includes titles from the ASCL Library collection, extended with sources available through the broader Leiden University Library collection. The excellent introduction is by Ton Dietz and David Ehrhardt. Enjoy the web dossier!

1960 was the ‘Year of Africa’: seventeen colonies in Africa became politically independent. On the occasion of 'Africa 2020', the ASCL created Infosheets about these countries, indicating demographic developments, income, health and education statistics, migration numbers, agricultural production, urbanisation and regional inequality. Take a look at all Infosheets!
