The Roots Reggae Library is a website that lists reviews of discographies of Reggae artists. It contains detailed written descriptions of albums, songs and the style of the artist. There are currently 23 discographies on the website. The content of the website consists of information on a large range of albums within the Reggae genre, some of which are extremely rare and hard to get by elsewhere. A number of artists discographies are uniquely indexed and/or newly created. Songs with lyrics other than English are interpreted in English. This is done in collaboration with various people around the world.

The Roots Reggae Library was started in May 2012 as an initiative to index, store and analyse Reggae music, with a particular emphasis on the transition period of Rocksteady into Roots Reggae. Although the first edition published in May 2012 focused on Bob Marley, the author communicated his intent to dedicate special attention to other musicians besides “the King of Reggae”. The primary focus of the Roots Reggae Library is to create a single library of both Jamaican and non-Jamaican Reggae music.
