All images are digitized | All jpegs/tiffs display outside Library of Congress | View All This online collection provides access to about 7,000 different views and portraits made during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and its immediate aftermath. The images represent the original glass plate negatives made under the supervision of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner as well as the photographic prints in the Civil War photographs file in the Prints & Photographs Reading Room. These negatives and prints are sometimes referred to as the Anthony-Taylor-Rand-Ordway-Eaton Collection to indicate the previous owners. The Library purchased the negatives in 1943. Search tip for this collection: Try putting in very few search terms, particularly when searching for people (for example, try just the person's last name). Many additional Civil War images are in other collections, including drawings, prints, and photograph albums to name a few. View a slide show of samples. Andrew J.
HIAF 201
Introduction -- History 201 introduces undergraduates to the early history of the peoples of Africa, with emphasis on "Black" Africa south of the Sahara. The course begins with the origins of African civilizations in the later "stone age" (ca. 25,000 BCE) and runs through the late-eighteenth-century years of Africa's most intensive exports of slaves. It concentrates on people and civilizations indigenous to Africa. It therefore notices Asian and European visitors only as people in Africa influenced them or took them into account. Such extraneous (though related) topics in European or world history as the origins of Islam, the Atlantic slave trade, European wars that touched African shores, the African diaspora in the New World, and European explorers and missionaries receive attention mainly in their African aspects. This thematic approach means studying the first weeks' lectures and readings carefully to identify the "key themes" that will develop during the remainder of the term.
Esclaves et Affranchis de Guyane
Il y a une dizaine d'années, je suis parti du constat personnel suivant : engagé dans un programme d'archéologie coloniale sur d'anciennes habitations jésuites, force était de constater la pauvreté des études en matière d'esclavage et d'histoire sociale en Guyane. Certes, des travaux pionniers, fondamentaux encore aujourd'hui, posaient des bases solides (Serge Mam Lam Fouck, Marie-José Jolivet, Yannick Le Roux). Tous ces travaux, si réussis fussent-ils, ne permettaient toutefois pas de toucher les esclaves dans leur individualité. J'avais besoin de données précises sur les ateliers d'esclaves des habitations que nous prospections ainsi que sur ceux des établissements voisins. Les objets de mes recherches s'étendant et touchant systématiquement à l'histoire locale, je me suis donc lancé dans le dépouillement des registres relevant de l'état civil. La base de données contient pour l'instant les informations extraites des registres des nouveaux libres (1848-1853).
