  • 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, via la publication d'un herbier numérique africain par le projet API (African Plants Initiative, parrainé par la fondation Andrew W. Mellon). Ce programme a numérisé et publié plus de 300 000 planches d'herbiers en 3 ans en associant 39 institutions originaires de 20 pays (d’Afrique, d’Europe et des États-Unis). En 2007, fort de son succès il a été élargi aux plantes d'Amérique du Sud avec le projet Latin American Plants Initiative, puis au monde entier et alors renommé « Global Plants Initiative » ou « GPI ». En 2011, 190 institutions de 60 pays y participaient, et en 2013 plus de 300 (fr)
