Contact Information for Africana Collection staff
African Studies staff are located on the 5th floor of Library West on the University of Florida (see campus map). We are part of the Department of Special & Area Studies Collections, which itself is located in Smathers Library.
The Africana Collection is integrated into the library's general collections, so there is some African-related material in all branches. Contact information for the other library staff members is available through the library's complete staff list.
