    Title
    South Carolina Archival Association Meeting 2018 Presentation
    Abstract
    Digitizing Black Life and Culture in Middle Georgia is a Digital Humanities (DH) collaboration between Mercer University’s Department of Africana Studies, Mercer University Library, and the Macon-Bibb County Clerk’s Office to digitize and create a searchable database of primary source materials that document slavery and African American life in Macon, Georgia and the surrounding areas. These records reside in the Macon-Bibb County Courthouse and include property records detailing the sale/purchase of slaves, Chain Gang records, and plantation maps. Ultimately, this project will provide access to primary source documents for researchers, local community members, and the public to better understand of the breadth and consequences of slavery in Middle Georgia before, during, and following the Civil War period. As the first Digital Humanities project Mercer University Library has initiated, building the framework alongside our partners was a learning experience.This project originated with the hope of supporting students, faculty, and the community while simultaneously kickstarting Mercer University’s DH program. We will present the genesis of this project, the resources we investigated to digitize the materials at the courthouse, and the challenges we encountered working with community partners. Furthermore, we will discuss the conflicts that arose between digital humanities and digital archiving.
