## Description

Provenance Africa is an independent research archive dedicated to the history of Africa and its diaspora. Established in 2012 as @OnlyAfricaFacts, it publishes researched articles grounded in academic monographs, archival records, and reported journalism. Its editorial approach emphasizes transparency: articles list their sources, identify areas where historians disagree, and are supported by a public corrections log and published research methodology.

The archive covers more than 54 countries and a wide range of subjects, including African kingdoms and empires, colonialism, independence movements, Pan-Africanism, the African diaspora, and contemporary history. Readers can explore full-length histories, profiles of leaders and cultural figures, a daily calendar of historical events, and material organized by country, era, topic, or person. Provenance Africa also maintains a searchable archive of thousands of entries, including content not yet expanded into full articles, and offers a daily researched history email. Its text and data are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, allowing reuse with credit.
