This paper basically looks at the effect of multiculturalism, data and correspondence innovation (ICT) on African historiography. The paper contends that the approach of multiculturalism and the presentation of ICT has presented the history specialist to a treasure trove of sources which can be effectively gotten to. This improvement has most likely diminished, generally, the difficulties related with source materials for the recreation of different parts of African history, which were until recently undeniably challenging to get to. Inspecting the different sources accessible for the recreation of African history (that is their qualities and shortcomings), the paper focuses on the requirement for antiquarians to treat the torrential slide of sources got from ICT with doubt until their genuineness and dependability is set up. This would over the long haul give more solid presumptions and ends in the reproduction of African history.
