English: Closing the knowledge gap on Africa is a common goal for both the global Wikimedia community and the African Studies Centre Leiden (ASCL). The ASCL is a knowledge institute that undertakes research and is involved in teaching about Africa. It aims to promote the dissemination of knowledge and better understanding of African societies in the wider public sphere. Since 2013 the ASCL library has been involved in diverse Wikimedia projects. It hosted a Wikipedian in Special Residence and added several collections of Africa photographs to Wikimedia Commons.
