African Diaspora at the Internet Archive: Spreadsheet (14)

It's been a while since I updated the spreadsheet, but here's the good news: there are now over 7800 items from over 180 different sources linked from the spreadsheet to the pages of books at the Internet Archive, everything just a click away! You can find it all at the African Diaspora Folktale Spreadsheet. And, of course, the big African Folktale Spreadsheet is available also, with over 10,000 stories there. :-)

So, here's the Diaspora spreadsheet embedded (be patient while it loads; it takes a while for thousands of things to load in the post):

I've probably got another couple updates to do to this spreadsheet, but I'm nearly done inventorying the African Diaspora materials at the Archive, which means I'm almost ready to start writing the Reader's Guide to African Diaspora Folktales at the Internet Archive.

I'll be using the same model as in the Reader's Guide to African Folktales at the Internet Archive: 200 book entries, followed by 50 public domain stories. I might even do more than 50 public domain stories since there is so much more public domain material to work with. I'm really excited to get started.

Here's where you can your free download of the African Folktales guide!
