to a related CD-ROM project based on the Stanley Collection at the University
of Iowa Museum of Art, this site also proves to be an important resource

assortment of teaching aids including an online searchable Catalogue of
the Stanley Collection of Africa Art (with images and descriptions of over
500 items), information on 106 African peoples, profiles of 27 African
countries, a complete online version of the entire ALA Teacher's Guide,
and 47 lesson plans from K-12
teachers in Iowa."
