Abstract:This annotated bibliography lists some of the major reference sources which have relevance to the study of the history of Africa. The emphasis is on works such as bibliographies on particular topics, bibliographies of bibliographies, dissertation lists and guides to research that will lead the user to materials which, in the absence of a reference or a reference tool, are difficult to find. Most of these fall into certain broad categories of materials (archival guides, dissertations, historical atlases, book reviews), but two important subject areas (language and religion) are also covered. The focus is on works that treat topics of a continental scope.
