The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a $494,752 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) to The Leland Stanford Junior University for the "Senegal Liberations Project: A Scholarly Digital Collaboration". This 3-year digital humanities initiative will make accessible and provide an interpretive framework for an underused set of primary documents - the registers of slave liberation in colonial Senegal. By digitizing and analyzing these historical records, the project aims to generate new perspectives on the pathways out of slavery and contribute to global histories of freedom and unfreedom. The grant award commences on October 1, 2024 and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027.
