CAORC, in collaboration with the West African Research Center (WARC) in Dakar, Senegal, launched an initiative with the Library of Congress in 2010 to expand the collection of scholarly resources for U.S. and West African universities and institutions by collecting, documenting and digitizing published material and ephemera in eleven countries, including: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, the Gambia, Guinea Conakry, Mali, Niger, Chad, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

[2] The project is headquartered at the West African Research Center in Dakar, Senegal, and the collective activities are carried out by Bibliographic Representatives, who are librarians and archivists in their respective countries.

The collection activities include acquiring materials published in the region that help showcase daily life, culture, social and political movements of West African countries.

Examples of materials include newspapers, public health flyers and announcements throughout the pandemic, comics, monographs, maps, and e-books.
