  The Vincent J. Rosivach Register of Slaves in Fairfield, Connecticut

  Vincent J. Rosivach, Giovanni Ruffini, Alec Lurie, and Olivia McEvoy

  Type of Project:

  Faculty Contribution; Student Project

  Project Description:

  The Vincent J. Rosivach Register of Slaves in Fairfield, Connecticut (1639-1820) was a comprehensive database of enslaved individuals in colonial and post-colonial Fairfield. The database compiled information including birth, death, and distribution of enslaved people in colonial and post-colonial Fairfield into a single site to help formulate a once-broken narrative. In several cases, the register was able to piece together entire families, identifying a lineage previously scattered across countless documents.

  The Register is now part of the Fairfield Enslaved Peoples Database. More information about the database can be found at the Fairfield Museum and History Center.

  Map of Early Modern London

  Shannon E. Kelley

  Type of Project:

  Faculty Contribution; Pedagogy; Student Project

  Project Description:

  The Map of Early Modern London (MoEML), is an ongoing project by the University of Victoria to map the spatial imaginary of Shakespeare’s city. The project asks how London’s spaces and places were named, traversed, used, repurposed, and contested by various practitioners, writers, and civic officials. MoEML’s maps allow users to plot people, historical documents, literary works, and recent critical research onto topography and the built environment.

  Shannon Kelley is a MoEML Pedagogical Partner of the project. Students enrolled in English 213 – Shakespeare I at Fairfield University in the Fall of 2014 also contributed to the project.
