- Aluka is an online digital library focusing on materials about Africa. Aluka's mission is to connect scholars from around the world by building a common platform that allows online collaboration and knowledge sharing. Aluka's audience is higher education and research communities worldwide. Aluka has been an initiative of Ithaka, which is a non profit organization that has a mission of incubating promising new projects that support the use of technology for the benefit of higher education. An assumption of the incubation process is that successful projects will eventually become independent or join larger, existing organizations serving the academic community. In June 2008, the Ithaka and JSTOR Trustees approved a recommendation that the Aluka initiative be integrated into JSTOR. Founded in 2003, Aluka was an initiative of Ithaka Harbors, Inc. , a non-profit organization based in New York City and Princeton, New Jersey. The initial funding was provided by theMellon Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation. The first release of Aluka took place in early February 2007 with preview access to JSTOR subscribers. In Africa, Aluka is free to all academic and other not-for-profit institutions. The name 'Aluka' is derived from a Zulu word meaning 'to weave'.
- Aluka est une bibliothèque numérique collaborative en ligne relative à l'Afrique développée autour de trois thématiques différentes : le patrimoine culturel : sites et paysages, les plantes d'Afrique, les combats pour la liberté en Afrique australe. « Aluka » est dérivé d’ un mot zoulou signifiant « tisser ».
