In a podcast from Boatwright Library, former DSL student intern Amanda Kleintop discusses her senior thesis “Networks of Resistance: Black Virginians Remember Civil War Loyalties” and her use of social network analysis to analyze black Unionism.

Scott Nesbit presented the Lab’s work on emancipation at the session, “Opportunities for Civil War Data 150 (CWD150)” at this year’s American Association of State and Local Historians meeting in Richmond, Virginia. CWD150 is a collaborative project using Linked Open Data to create connections between archives at the local, state, and federal levels and to help increase the discovery of these resources by researchers and the general public.
