BIEA holds a large collection of unpublished documents, records, notes and images collected by a variety of researchers. These records are currently being reorganized and are available for consultation by interested researchers.

In addition, the BIEA has recently begun digitising many of these records in association with the JSTORE-based charity Aluka. Consequently, BIEA records from a number of important historic and archaeological sites can now be accessed via the Aluka website Researchers using BIEA computers have free access to Aluka's entire archive. In addition, the BIEA's Digital Archive can be accessed directly via our research computers on request.

The BIEA-Aluka digital archive contains records from the following sites/regions

• Aksum, Ethiopia
• Kilwa, Tanzania
• Engaruka, Tanzania
• Somalia (currently being digitised)
