The Narratives of Slavery project presents stories of the enslaved at Jefferson's University through three case studies of spaces where they lived and worked.
Anatomical Theatre | Hotel A | Pavilion I | Pavilion IV Garden |
This project explores the history of the Anatomical Theatre and how African Americans played a role in the operation of this space at the University of Virginia. |
This project highlights the daily life of the enslaved in their service to the hotelkeepers and the students in the Academical Village and in particular Hotel A and Pavilion I. |
The enslaved people of Pavilion IV connected its work yard to a network of properties across Albemarle County owned by George Blaetterman, Professor of Modern Languages. |
