Abstract
African Higher Education Research Online (AHERO) is an international disciplinary repository for research texts that
focus on the practice and development of higher education in Africa. Distributed researchers upload their documents
to AHERO through a semi-automated process. Launched in January 2007, AHERO now holds 435 full text research texts relating to African higher education. The paper will outline the project’s objectives and present the results of findings emerging from the two year experience of liaison with researchers and publishers as we attempted to recruit papers for the disciplinary archive.
