Grant Description

The grant supports the creation of a digital library at the West African Research Center (WARC) to preserve and provide online access to unique oral histories and historical documentation.

These cultural resources are in danger of being lost due to harsh climatic conditions and lack of internal funding for cultural projects in Senegal.
