Guides, both with and without Microform Collections, are listed together first in any geographic area, followed by a section on Ancillary Materials, defined as publications derived from African archives, but focused on specific topics and not necessarily comprehensive in nature. Microform collections of archives which have been cataloged by research libraries in the U.S. are included under the name of the compiler of the guide, then designated "accompanies" followed by the number of microforms (if any), in chevrons, e.g. <23 reels of microfilm>. Not all microforms have guides, and not all guides have microforms. When no known compiler or editor has been identified, the name of the collection is cited first with U.S. locations provided. Numbered items are tagged to the index of the print version available from the African Studies Program, 205 Ingraham 1155 Observatory Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706. Pagination is given and some titles are annotated, with only the latest edition of a guide given. Finding lists are noted where available.
