CRL Review

Collection Content:

African Newspapers, Series 2 (1835-1925) is the second module of African newspapers prduced as part of the World Newspaper Archive [1] (produced by CRL in partnership with Readex, a division of NewsBank). This collection provides access to nearly 40 fully searchable African newspaper titles published during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Content features English- and foreign-language titles from countries including Algeria, Angola, Liberia, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, and Uganda.

Titles were identified by CRL staff or recommended by WNA Charter Participants, faculty members, and subject experts from the Cooperative Africana Materials Project (CAMP). The final material was selected for its breadth of coverage, as well as its complementarity to content in African Newspapers, Series 1 [3]. Titles include such key publications as:

Cape Daily Telegraph (Port Elizabeth, South Africa) [1898-1908]
Cape Times (Cape Town, South Africa) [1876-1913]
Al-Moghreb Al-Aksa (Tangier, Morocco) [1897-1923]
Munno (Kampala, Uganda) [1911-1927]
Windhuker Nachrichten (Windhoek, Namibia) [1903-1915]

A complete list of titles [5]can be found on Readex's site.

The titles are cross-searchable with other modules of the World Newspaper Archive, as well as with other Readex products such as America’s Historical Newspapers.
