Based in Boston, 10 Million Names is dedicated to recovering the names of the estimated ten million people of African descent who were kidnapped and enslaved in pre- and post- colonial American. The project is a collaborative network of genealogists, cultural organizations, and community-based family historians.

The Prince Project is happy to be a part of this endeavor and know that our database can contribute to the research of those people enslaved in Maine.

Slavery North is a research initiative based at the University of Massachusetts  Amherst.  It is an academic and cultural destination for students, scholars, thinkers, artists, and cultural producers. Together this community produces research to help us better understand the neglected  histories of transatlantic slavery in Canada and the US North.

The Prince Project considers this another incredible opportunity to expand the knowledge of enslavement in this northern region through our database.

The Slave Societies Digital Archive (formerly Ecclesiastical and Secular Sources for Slave Societies) preserves the most extensive serial records for the history of Africans in the Atlantic World and includes valuable  information about the Indigenous, European, and Asian populations who lived alongside them. SSDA holdings include more than 700,000 digital images dating from the sixteenth through twentieth centuries that  document the lives of an estimated four to six million individuals. SSDA teams digitized most of these records, but generous scholars have also donated smaller personal collections to our archive.

The Prince Project is pleased to have our database listed with their other available resources.
