History of Slavery at the University of Georgia: Digital Exhibits and Websites

The Department of History’s UGA & Slavery website was created in 2018 and is "dedicated to exploring our university’s historic entanglements with the institution of slavery and its legacies in our community."

On These Grounds: Slavery and the University (OTG) is part of a nationwide collaboration designed to evaluate, revise, and disseminate a shared data model and common vocabulary to describe the experiences of enslaved individuals in catalogs and metadata at academic libraries and cultural institutions across the country. OTG is supported with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Slavery at UGA digital exhibit linked above is the product of the research and efforts of the Fall 2015 class of HIPR 4160/6160, Public History and Technology, taught by Dr. Scott Nesbit at the University of Georgia. The class split into three groups which determined our main roles in its creation. Research Team: James Bridgforth, Caity Hungate, Hannah Murphey, Dylan Stearns Writing Team: Catherine Koonce, Audrey Thomas, Matt West Design Team: Sean Griffith, Rebecca McManus, Mary Fenwick Parish.
