The Mara Cultural Heritage Digital Library Goes Live!

The Mara Cultural Heritage Digital Library is now live!

The library contains primary resources from the Mara Region of Tanzania collected by historian Dr. Jan Bender Shetler during her work. Photographs, interviews, videos and cultural materials such as maps and music are among the library’s impressive offerings.

You are welcome to browse through the collections and share this exciting resource with fellow researchers: https://maraculturalheritage.org/

The library has been supported by a generous three year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the design work of the Matrix project at Michigan State University.
