Please use the proper format for your bibliographies and citations.  Check the BibHelpers in the Reference Room or the English Department Style Guide (pdf format) here.

There are some general books on Africa in the Reference Room and the non-fiction stacks that should also be of some help with your masks.  When going online, check out the resources at Google first; some of the sites below have been pulled from there.

The links below are to get you started.  Always look for additional links provided from these pages.

If you can't find what you are looking for, let me know.

African Art Museum
This is a BIG site with cultural artifacts, including masks, from many different tribes.  Unfortunately, there is not a sub-catagory for masks all by themselves, so you'll have to look through various tribes to find what you are looking for.
