African Art: Start Your Research: Introduction

This page serves to provide helpful background information and useful starting points on researching African Art. Encyclopedias, dictionaries, and reference sources provide background information on a subject area - just as Wikipedia does. Those selected here are peer-reviewed and written by scholars and experts on the subject at hand.

Reference sources can help you "get up to speed" quickly on a topic that may be new or unfamiliar to you. They can be used to identify key people, events, and dates, which can then be used as search terms for finding additional information. Many of these sources provide a jumpstart to your research by listing related readings or sources for further exploration (these are often called bibliographies).
