Aluka is an African online digital library. Free access to signed up members up till June 30, 2008.

To quote from their site.

Aluka seeks to attract high-quality scholarly content about Africa from institutions and individuals across the globe. By contributing their collections to the Aluka platform, content owners will have a means of offering access to their collections to an international audience—without having to develop and support their own technology platforms. Aluka’s web-based platform provides powerful tools for research, teaching, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.

The site is primarly academic, but anything that provides a platform for information and education is a good thing. Thanks to Harinjaka for highlighting this site.
