Enduring Connections: Exploring Delmarva’s Black History is a long-term digital humanities project at the Nabb Research Center that features a searchable database for finding meaningful connections within digitized and transcribed sources, such as censuses, certificates of freedom, church records, newspapers, ledgers, and oral histories that illuminate the history of Black communities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (and beyond) across the Delmarva Peninsula. In an effort to preserve and promote the study of the region’s diverse history, this project aims to bridge long-existing gaps in archival and genealogical collections representing Black history and culture.
