Black History Data
D-Lab is excited to share with you the publication of two articles and associated datasets on which D-Lab staff and student researchers worked in collaboration with Prof. Bryan Wagner, PI of the Louisiana Slave Conspiracies Project (lsc.berkeley.edu). The LSC project is dedicated to preserving, digitizing, transcribing, translating, and analyzing historical manuscripts concerning two slave conspiracies organized at the Pointe Coupée Post in the Spanish territory of Louisiana in 1791 and 1795. Our research outputs include (1) complete bibliographic and demographic information as well as (2) geospatial place data that were extracted from trial records related to these two conspiracies:
