- Description
- "This project is advancing the study of slavery and the African diaspora by identifying, inventorying, and creating a digital archive of rich, underutilized, and at-risk ecclesiastical sources for Africans and persons of African descent in Brazil, Cuba, and the Spanish circum-Caribbean. Ecclesiastical sources are the longest serial data available for the history of Africans in the Americas, beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing through almost the end of the nineteenth century, and many are in perilous condition. Most have never been seen by scholars and if not captured quickly, will never be seen." (Project Description) — The Brazilian source collection is not accessible as yet, but will comprise several ten thousand pages of archival documents dating from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
