Liberia digital archives launched

A recently launched website http://www.liberiapedia.com/LiberiaPedia/Home.html provides internet users around the world free access to several rich collections of facts and stories on Liberia. The site features four databases, with others to be added: a collection of 100+ folk tales from the 1950s; an index of actions taken by the Liberian legislature between 1847 and 1940; a glossary of Liberian slangs and idioms; and a database on 15,000+ African-Americans who emigrated to Liberia between 1820 and 1904.
