A number of materials from the Africana collections have been digitized, including: Winterton Collection of East African Photographs, 16th-20th Century Maps of Africa, Archival Materials, and Posters.

Nonetheless, there have been exceptions--materials that were published in limited, sometimes very limited, quantities."
