The project to digitize the Enslavement Documents from the Wheelock Collection focuses not only on Wheelock’s role as a slave owner, but also documents his involvement with the institution of slavery as it existed in Colonial Connecticut. Slavery as an institution existed throughout colonial America, but its manifestations varied from region to region. This project attempts to cast light on Wheelock’s -- and Dartmouth’s -- roles in the institution of slavery, as well as bringing to light the lives of enslaved people represented in the collection and also providing additional materials to inform the scholarly study of slavery in New England.
