Other[ed] Colonial Voices
This site will use an archival item from Houghton Library, the "Evert Jansen Wendell collection of contracts for the sale of slaves, 1796-1829," to begin an exploration of the lives of Black people, Jewish people, and White women in Early America. This archival item only contains three contracts, but these unique documents raise a lot of questions about diverse identities and labor in turn of the 19th century New York.
