We would like to acknowledge the following institutions, sources, and most importantly, individuals who have contributed over time to the content and the design of these pages

Carlos Museum:

We would like to wholeheartedly thank Emory's Carlos Museum for allowing us to display pictures from their permanent collection in these pages. We would in particular like to thank Jessica Stephenson, Associate Curator for the African Collection, Elizabeth Hornor, Director of Educational Programs, and Todd Lamkin, Registrar, for their gracious and generous assistance. For more information regarding these pictures, please visit the highlights of the African collection on-line at http://carlos.emory.edu/COLLECTION/AFRICA/, or better yet visit the Museum on the Emory Campus.  Questions related to a specific artifact may be addressed to Jessica Stephenson at jjstep2@learnlink.emory.edu

African Designs from Traditional Sources by Geoffrey Williams  (©Dover Publication, 1971)
The carved soapstone zebra (Zimbabwe, Rhodesia) inspired the various masthead graphics and may be found on page 81 of the above-cited book. Its color has been altered (from a black and white etching), and, in the case of the menu headers, has been cropped and filtered in seven different instances.

The scraped calabash snake design from Dahomey which we use as this site's colophon in the footer can be found at page 72 of the same book.

Film and Video Resources for African Studies
The basis for the on-line database is the yearly catalog which has been produced under the coordination of Professor Corinne Kratz since 1995. She is the very heart of this project, and is warmly acknowledged here for her patient dedication and tireless work without which the catalog would simply not be. We wish to acknowledge Ms. Veronica Wilson who has maintained and updated the entries in the past for 3 years, and to Mrs. Carol Bridges who carried out its maintenance in the preceding years as well. We also would like to thank Simone Leo for her help in migrating the original Word document into the Oracle table which now holds it. The content of the database has been compiled and borrowed from a variety of sources including Emory University's Euclid catalog. We would like to thank the team that assembled and maintains these entries for the Library. We would like, in particular, to thank Elizabeth McBride, African Collection Librarian, for keeping our catalog of books and videographic resources up to date. Some of the entries have been inspired by the video jacket or by the distributor's printed or on-line catalogs (California Newsreel, Icarus/First Run Films).

Some of the content of this web-site was inspired or transferred from the original Institute of African Studies web-site. We would like to acknowledge all those who have maintained and designed it, and in particular Professor Corinne Kratz who oversaw its initial design. The current site was initially designed for the logic, the content and the graphic interface by Yvan Bamps using Macromedia™'s Coldfusion™ scripting language. Some Coldfusion™ scripts have been inspired and adapted from Ben Forta et al.'s Coldfusion MX Web Application Development Construction Kit (Macromedia Press, 2004).The DHMTL menu was made with Menu Magic 2 from Project Seven (http://www.projectseven.com/). The graphics and Cascading Style Sheets were adapted to fit the site's need, but the orginal javascripts are used. Except where the original copyright owner is otherwise identified, the copyright for this web-site, its design and its content belongs to Emory.
