Harper’s Weekly—Towards Racial Equality, 1857-1874
"Website visitors should be warned that several of the words, descriptions, and images from Harper’s Weekly are considered racially offensive by today’s standards. The materials are presented in order to give a true historical picture of the leading 19th-century newspaper’s view of black Americans. We at HarpWeek hope this site will serve as a valuable resource which provides an important perspective on the multifaceted history of black Americans, generates a deeper understanding and respect for the subject, and sparks further interest in its study and discussion."NOTE: This website features various illustrations relating to slavery, the civil war, reconstruction, and American culture & society.
America's Reconstruction: People and Politics After the Civil War
"This exhibit examines one of the most turbulent and controversial eras in American history. It presents an up-to-date portrait of a period whose unrealized goals of economic and racial justice still confront our society....
Reconstruction, one of the most turbulent and controversial eras in American history, began during the Civil War and ended in 1877. It witnessed America's first experiment in interracial democracy. Just as the fate of slavery was central to the meaning of the Civil War, so the divisive politics of Reconstruction turned on the status the former slaves would assume in the reunited nation. Reconstruction remains relevant today because the issues central to it -- the role of the federal government in protecting citizens' rights, and the possibility of economic and racial justice -- are still unresolved."
Freedmen and Southern Society Project
"The Freedmen and Southern Society Project was established in 1976 to capture the essence of that revolution by depicting the drama of emancipation in the words of the participants: liberated slaves and defeated slaveholders, soldiers and civilians, common folk and the elite, Northerners and Southerners. ... Drawing upon the rich resources of the National Archives of the United States, the project's editors pored over millions of documents, selecting some 50,000. They are presently transcribing, organizing, and annotating them to explain how black people traversed the bloody ground from slavery to freedom between the beginning of the Civil War in 1861 and the beginning of Radical Reconstruction in 1867. The documents vividly speak for themselves, and interpretive essays by the editors provide historical context."
The Freedmen's Bureau Online
"The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands...often referred to as the Freedmen's Bureau, was established in the War Department by an act of March 3, 1865. The Bureau supervised all relief and educational activities relating to refugees and freedmen, including issuing rations, clothing and medicine. The Bureau also assumed custody of confiscated lands or property in the former Confederate States, border states, District of Columbia, and Indian Territory. The bureau records were created or maintained by bureau headquarters, the assistant commissioners and the state superintendents of education and included personnel records and a variety of standard reports concerning bureau programs and conditions in the states."
Northern Visions of Race, Region, & Reform
"NORTHERN VISIONS OF RACE, REGION, & REFORM is an online resource documenting conflicting representations of African-Americans, white Southerners, and reformers during and and immediately after the Civil War. In particular, it looks at the stereotypes popularized in the northern press, and the ways that these depictions were countered--or in some cases, reinforced--in the letters written for northern readers by freedmen's teachers and freedmen themselves"
Caste in South Asia: A Gateway to Internet Resources
"The UHM Center for South Asian Studies has accordingly developed this small project to introduce junior and non-specialist members of the UH and broader research community to the notion of 'caste' as a critical and contested concept. We hope these preliminary resources will prove useful to those who want to take caste into the classroom.
The resources provided fall into three categories:
Internet Resources
Recent Scholarly Perspectives on Caste
Sample Passages from Primary Texts"

Library of Congress: Prints & Photographs Online Catalog
"The Prints and Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC) contains catalog records and digital images representing a rich cross-section of still pictures held by the Prints & Photographs Division and, in some cases, other units of the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress offers broad public access to these materials as a contribution to education and scholarship.The collections of the Prints & Photographs Division include photographs, fine and popular prints and drawings, posters, and architectural and engineering drawings. While international in scope, the collections are particularly rich in materials produced in, or documenting the history of, the United States and the lives, interests and achievements of the American people."
After Slavery Project
"The After Slavery Project is an international research collaboration directed from Queen’s University Belfast, generously funded by the (UK) Arts and Humanities Research Council and benefiting from key institutional support from the Institute for Southern Studies at the University of South Carolina and the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard University. Launched in 2006 by three historians working in the fields of labor, southern and African American history, the project seeks to draw together some of the most exciting developments in the study of the post-emancipation US South, and in particular to encourage and promote a gathering consensus among historians that this period can best be understood as an important chapter in American labor history. Much of the early scholarship on the aftermath of slavery was undertaken by scholars who’d absorbed prevailing ides about black racial inferiority, and was often permeated with racism and hostile to the project of Reconstruction. In the years following the triumph over Jim Crow, a new generation of historians influenced by the black freedom movement and building on the pioneering work of W. E. B. Du Bois and others countered this version of the past, and for the past generation this revisionist framework has profoundly reshaped the way the late nineteenth century South is taught and understood. Whether this newer understanding has managed to break out of college and university classrooms and influence popular understanding is another question.
