What is CAMP? 

The Cooperative Africana Materials Project (CAMP) is a joint project by research libraries worldwide and the Center for Research Libraries (CRL) that serves to acquire and preserve publications and archives concerning the approx. fifty nations of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Originally named the Cooperative Africana Microforms Project at its beginning in 1963, CAMP now both acquires and preserves materials in microform and digital formats. Examples of matierals include: newspapers, journals, government publications, personal and corporate archives, and the personal papers of scholars and government leaders.  CAMP's materials are in many African and European languages, including Swahili, Portuguese, French, Zulu, Xhosa, English, and German.

CAMP meets at both the Spring and Fall ALC meetings.
