- Abstract
- The Islam Burkina Faso Collection presents itself as "an open access digital database containing over 2,900 archival documents, newspaper articles, Islamic publications of various forms, and photographs on Islam and Muslims in Burkina Faso since the 1960s. The site also indexes more than 250 bibliographical references of books, book chapters, book reviews, journal articles, dissertations, theses, and reports on the topic." Obviously, this is an impressive achievement, and the project launched in 2021 by Frédérick Madore will become an increasingly useful repository since travel in and to Burkina Faso has become more difficult. Specialists of Islam or print culture from Burkina Faso, West Africa, and beyond will now have access to this extremely valuable resource, provided that they have an Internet connection.
