Why this repository exists

Knowledge cannot shape the world if it remains difficult to discover.

This repository follows GRC’s work wherever African scholarship leads. It is not limited to one discipline or research theme: it brings together the scholars GRC has engaged through research, teaching, editing, consultation and resource development, and it will continue to grow through verification, corrections and new submissions.
