Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy, 1719–1820 <http://www.ibiblio.org/laslave/>. Gwendolyn Midlo Hall. Reviewed Dec. 17–20, 2003.

Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy, 1719–1820, embodies the essence of generous scholarship and the possibilities of the digital domain. In this Web site, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, the well-known historian of slavery, offers free access to the files she created in years of study of enslaved and free Africans and African Americans in Louisiana. The core of the site is a database with demographic information on a hundred thousand African slaves who lived in colonial Louisiana. The full database, as well as a smaller database on freed slaves, is available for free download in a variety of formats. The collected material spans three regimes (French, Spanish, and early American) and covers all of the territory in historic and present-day Louisiana. Searches produce results organized alphabetically by name with accompanying material about each individual's family, ethnicity, and work history. The site provides students, teachers, and scholars with a valuable resource for studying the history of slavery and enslaved peoples. . . .
