Overview
• One-stop shopping for Africa continent base maps
• Online Atlas and Index• Gateway to more specific data searches
(across multiple systems)• Search non-spatial visual data• Repository for Africa research projects

Goals• Build an interdisciplinary data repository for
Africa which uses latitude and longitude instead of Dewey for organizing information
• Create a framework for organizing Africa data which could be applied globally
• Support research at all scales from local to continent-wide
• Support access to all types of material: photos, maps, text, video, audio, spatial data
• Provide long term persistence of data and links to data

Why Africa?
• To correct the misperception that there is little data on Africa
• Data exists but is hard to access – stored in multiple archives in many formats
• Harvard has one of the largest collections of Africa maps
• Research at Harvard will benefit from easier access to data on Africa
