Today I am researching historical slave plantations. I found this interesting site http://ashlandbelle.com/plantations.html. The plantations are in Louisiana and Mississippi. I will be reviewing these sites and possibly making visits for additional research.

Mellon Digital Humanities Master Class
**Note** I had to recreate this post because it mysteriously disappeared.
For the past two weeks I have participated in Tougaloo College's first Digital Humanities Masterclass June 15 - 26, 2015. The first week consisted of lectures from experts. I learned so much. The presentations opened a whole new world of possibilities for the Boddie plantation research. This blog is a direct result of the workshop and the ideas I got from the speakers.
