We have acquired two new databases for our library collections: Policy Commons Global Think Tanks and Africa Commons History and Culture. We purchased these e-resources in order to enhance the research capabilities of Loyola Marymount University’s students and faculty across a variety of disciplines, providing access to valuable primary sources and expert analyses.
Africa Commons: History and Culture
A database of digitized African historical and cultural materials covering over 4,500 collections held by more than 600 organizations from around the world. Material types include books, magazines, newspapers, historical periodicals, government documents, manuscripts, letters, diaries, posters, photographs, ephemera, art, music, videos, oral histories, and more.
