The Ross Archive of African Images 1600-1920
A collaboration between the Yale University Art Gallery, the Yale University Library and Yale alumnus James J. Ross, Class of 1960, The Ross Archive of African Images 1600-1920 is a comprehensive database of images representing the majority of illustrations of figurative African objects from south of the Sahara published between 1600 and 1920 in books, periodicals, catalogues, newspapers, and other publications. The archive includes more than 6,000 images culled from public and private collections, and sheds light on how objects were used in their original context such as ceremonies, shrines, village displays, and day-to-day use. It allows scholars, students, and those seeking a visual survey of African culture access to virtually every image publicly available from 1600 to 1920, along with the original accompanying text, providing an enlightening glimpse into the scholarship and attitudes of
the day.
