Slavery Images

Slavery Images
The 1,280 images in this collection have been selected from a wide range of sources, most of them dating from the period of slavery. This collection is envisioned as a tool and a resource that can be used by teachers, researchers, students, and the general public - in brief, anyone interested in the experiences of Africans who were enslaved and transported to the Americas and the lives of their descendants in the slave societies of the New World. We would like to emphasize that little effort is made to interpret the images and establish the historical authenticity or accuracy of what they display. To accomplish this would constitute a major and different research effort. Copyright 2015, Virginia Foundation for the Humanities and University of Virginia Related:  Traite et esclavage

[Comité pour la Mémoire de l'Esclavage] Uncle Tom's Cabin & American Culture Selected Civil War Photographs Home Page 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.

Nouvelle-France, horizons nouveaux L’exposition que nous vous invitons à parcourir raconte l’aventure de la Nouvelle-France, depuis les premiers voyages de découverte jusqu’à la fin du Régime français. Elle est composée de 350 documents d’archives répartis en douze thèmes. Les manuscrits, imprimés, cartes et plans, portraits, gravures et médailles ont été choisis pour leur qualité visuelle, leur exemplarité, leur force émotionnelle et leur pertinence. Sont abordés tour à tour les circonstances du départ (Partir), les conditions de la traversée (Voyager), l’exploration de nouveaux territoires (Découvrir), les contacts avec les Amérindiens (Rencontrer), le fonctionnement du régime seigneurial (S’établir), la création des villes et des forts (Fonder), la vie quotidienne dans la colonie (Vivre), les institutions (Administrer), l’économie (Commercer), le rôle de l’Église (Prier), les guerres (Combattre), et finalement, le changement de métropole, la déportation des Acadiens et la conquête anglaise (Se maintenir).

An Anthropology Webliography: Main Welcome to my anthro page! Anthropology is such a wide and varied discipline, and the resources available for anthropology research encompass a plethora of options. In the United States, anthropology is divided into four sub-disciplines: physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. I have divided the resources as such. This site provides a basis for preliminary research in the anthropology discipline as well as several general information sources for the casual knowledge-seeker. Also, don't forget to visit your local librarian for more assistance! I welcome any questions, comments, concerns, etc. Sincerely, Kat
