I'm thrilled to tell you that my book about the Catholic Church's roots in slavery will be released on 6/13. It emerged from a NYT story I wrote: "272 Slaves Were Sold to Save Georgetown. What Does It Owe Their Descendants?" That story was just the beginning.

Ask just about any genealogist: any investment you make in tech to make dead folks seemingly appear life like would be better to spent digitizing things like civil war pension files. Don’t want to see Nannie move & talk. 🙃 But, can you make records from her parish accessible?
How do you provide public access to digital periodicals you subscribe to? #AskAnArchivist

Same day a new millions-of-dollars a year coach is hired, the university budget office asks the library for justification for a $100 Ancestry account we use to research the people/families who created the archival collections we maintain.

Favorite accession file find, possibly *ever* : This newspaper clip explaining that a particular donation was won for the LSU archives (over Tulane) on a coin toss in a bar. The donor was the “tavern man”!!

Racism and segregation in this pocket of the Deep South left generations of Black residents with few resources beyond oral storytelling to preserve their history. Dr. Antoinette Harrell is assembling historical records by collecting funeral pamphlets. theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/ne…
