AFRICAN STUDIES
(WISCONSIN GOPHER SERVER-internet)
In November, 1989, the African Studies Program Outreach created the UW African Studies BBS, a dial-up/fidonet technology. In July, 1994, to meet the increasing demand for internet-compatible service, the outreach staff closed the UW African Studies BBS. The files are not located at the University of Wisconsin-Madison gopher server.
These files focus on African content only. In addition to bulletins concerning activities in the Madison, Wisconsin area, the African Studies files on the UW gopher offer information for scholars and educators (K-12) on various topics: grants, address lists, newsletters, conference programs, travel, publications, and so forth.
