Event: Digital Humanities- The Louisiana Slave Conspiracies Project
Description: This talk will highlight the tools and methods used in a digital humanities project called the Louisiana Slave Conspiracies Project.

The Louisiana Slave Conspiracies Project (LSC) aims to make source materials from two slave conspiracies in 1791 and 1795 accessible to interested researchers. A collaborative multidisciplinary team, led by Professor Bryan Wagner in the UC Berkeley English Department, is developing an interactive digital archive of these materials. Our focus will be the testimonies taken from slaves and their allies in these conspiracies. We are transcribing, translating, tagging, and collating these testimonies, along with other archival documents related to the conspiracies, for the first time. We want to ground our project in the aspirations and actions of the enslaved, as they are described in their own words.
