"Stolen Relations is a tribally collaborative project at Brown University that seeks to illuminate and understand both the role the enslavement of Indigenous peoples played in settler colonialism and its impact on the present. It was founded in 2015 by Associate Professor of History Linford D. Fisher in conjunction with the Center for Digital Scholarship. In 2019, in the project began officially collaborating with approximately thirteen regional Native nations in the Dawnland (New England). Our project seeks to recover the stories of individuals as well as educate the public on the reality of these processes. Although our sources are drawn from across the Americas, we have particular strengths in New England for now. This project is ongoing, with new research and entries for the database, as well as additional resources being added to the website." -https://stolenrelations.org/project-information/
"Spanning 20 former British colonies, this global collection of enslavement registers offers millions of descendants across Afro-Caribbean and broader African diasporas a powerful tool to trace their family histories—available to all for free. Fully digitized and made searchable for the first time, the collection brings together nearly 4 million records and over 250,000 historical images, offering a meaningful opportunity to rediscover lives and honor individual stories."
"Since 2018, Enslaved: Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade (Enslaved.org) has served the needs of scholars, genealogists, students, and members of the public interested in the people of the historical slave trade. Enslaved.org is a discovery hub that centers the lives of named enslaved and free[d] individuals who are made searchable and discoverable through a large and growing number of datasets and digital projects. Researchers can learn from linking data, visualizing larger relations and movements, and connecting the fragments of information about people’s lives from one dataset to the next.

"The Trans-Atlantic and Intra-American slave trade databases are the culmination of several decades of independent and collaborative research by scholars drawing upon data in libraries and archives around the Atlantic world. The new SlaveVoyages website itself is the product of three years of development by a multi-disciplinary team of historians, librarians, curriculum specialists, cartographers, computer programmers, and web designers, in consultation with scholars of the slave trade from universities in Europe, Africa, South America, and North America. The National Endowment for the Humanities was the principal sponsor of this work carried out originally at Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, the University of California at Irvine, and the University of California at Santa Cruz. The Hutchins Center of Harvard University has also provided support. The website is currently hosted at Rice University."
"Virginia Untold: the African American Narrative provides digital access to records that document some of the lived experiences of enslaved and free Black and multiracial people in the Library of Virginia’s collections. Traditional description, indexing, transcription, and digitization are major parts of this effort. However, and perhaps more importantly, this project seeks to encourage conversation and engagement around the records, providing opportunities for a more diverse narrative of the history of Virginia’s communities."
