TitleJames J. Ross Archive of African Images
BodyFrom http://raai.library.yale.edu/site/index.php?globalnav=about

The James J. Ross Archive of African Images presents approximately 5000 pictures of African art published before 1921. RAAI is a collection of rich historical data and images extensively catalogued and annotated. Its historic sources afford exceptional insight into early European and American views - literal and figurative - of Africa's art. Texts are presented here verbatim in the original - often erroneous and sometimes racist - language. Foreign texts appear in English translation followed by the original language. Many images include numerous objects. All individual objects from these "parent" images have been catalogued separately for ease of use and many such objects appear separately in "sub-images."

RAAI is available at http://raai.library.yale.edu/site/index.php
