The Ancient Archives
We've gathered a few ancient photographs, artwork, and additional sources for your perusal. The Smithsonian, British Library Online, and The MET, provided the majority of these. Under the CC0 and OA contracts, all of these different sources are in the public domain, which means they can be used commercially without permission or attribution to the Smithsonian or the British Library. We have, however, sourced them. More is coming, don’t worry … This page will be filled up soon.

Exterior and Interior AI Architectural designs of an African Archival Library / Museum by Kamdi Okonjo
I have always envisioned a large beautiful museum filled with records of African history. What if AFA owned this library or museum. Including all of the content on this website and more. What would it look like? What would I want it look like? These generated images, just like the Pan-Africanist Afrofuturism page on the website is essentially a peek into my mind. They are my wildest ideas. Using AI, I've created prompts that generated images that provide me with my exact vision for these different spaces. This is what AFA will hopefully be to you all very shortly. Investors … this is what I want for the future. Can you help me out?
