Materials in this collection are produced or published in a wide variety of African languages, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Dutch.
Publications about Africa that are published in other parts of the world are part of collections focused on those countries or regions. Widener Library's Middle Eastern Collection acquires materials from North Africa.
