In this episode, we welcomed author and Adjunct Professor (Trent University, Canada) Katrina Keefer to the show to talk about slavery records in Africa.We spent the hour talking about:- Katrina's sense of calling to this research work;- Slavery-related documents that still survive in Africa: the kinds of information they contain, digitization and preservation, and their importance in documenting the history and in telling the truth about the Trans-Atlantic slave trade; and- Tribal markings and the depth of the information encoded within those markings.This show actually made Donya speechless at times (seriously!). It made Brian and Donya both tear up. We had a few epiphanies live on air. It's one of *those* shows.Katrina Keefer is the Director of the African Studies Research Group at Trent University in Canada. She is a cultural historian who specializes in identity and trans-Atlantic slavery. Keefer leads a number of major international digital humanities projects which analyze body marks to better discern African origins and trajectories.Links to Resources Mentioned by Katrina:Liberated African Department [1808-1894] ‎ (1808-1894): https://tinyurl.com/LAD1808British Archives Endangered Archives Programme: https://eap.bl.uk/
