Building on the established libraries and research collections of its nineteen
constituent centers, the Council
of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) in 1999 launched the American
Overseas Digital Library (AODL) as a cost-effective, efficient, centralized,
Internet-based mechanism for the standardization and electronic delivery of
important bibliographic and full-text primary and secondary source information
from all CAORC member centers, covering both print collections and research
collections in other media.

American Slave Narratives
From 1936 to 1938, over 2,300 former slaves from across the American South were interviewed by writers and journalists under the aegis of the Works Progress Administration. These former slaves, most born in the last years of the slave regime or during the Civil War, provided first-hand accounts of their experiences on plantations, in cities, and on small farms. Their narratives remain a peerless resource for understanding the lives of America's four million slaves. What makes the WPA narratives so rich is that they capture the very voices of American slavery, revealing the texture of life as it was experienced and remembered. Each narrative taken alone offers a fragmentary, microcosmic representation of slave life. Read together, they offer a sweeping composite view of slavery in North America, allowing us to explore some of the most compelling themes of nineteenth-century slavery, including labor, resistance and flight, family life, relations with masters, and religious belief.
