This project was originally located at The Ohio State University. It was moved to Pittsburgh's Carnegie- ...Eel...Lon University in September 1968. Project Africa was created on March 1, 1967. It was a 40-month project designed specifically to develop inquiry-oriented instructional materials and guides for use in improving learning about Africa south of the Sahara in grades:7-12 of American schools.

They represent the results of extensive research during the summer and fall of 1967 and of limited classroom try- oa'aduring the spring of 1968. These materials are in the form submittO to nation-wide field testing during,the 1969 spring semester.
