Walter Hawthorne and Daryle Williams present an overview of Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade project (Enslaved.org) - a new open-source, open-access online discovery platform.
Join Walter Hawthorne of Michigan State University and Daryle Williams of the University of California-Riverside for a dynamic overview of Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade (Enslaved.org), an open-source, open-access online discovery platform that has opened new ways to understand individual and community life experiences in Mid-Atlantic slave societies. Historical records and data-driven approaches to history have rendered enslaved people nameless. This platform uses historical data collection to recover, aggregate and make accessible the names and life stories of enslaved people.
Support for the 2023 Landmark Lecture Series is made possible with an Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Inspire! grant [IGSM-249243-OMS-21]
