description: In this extraordinary research tool, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall has created and edited databases containing well over 100,000 records from countless manuscript and census sources to provide an unprecedented look into the lives of Africans and people of African descent in Louisiana -- as well as of their slave-owners and freers -- from earliest colonial times through 1860. The center-piece of the disc is Hall's monumental Louisiana Slave Database, 1719-1820, more than 97,000 records and 125 fields entered almost entirely from original manuscript sources written in French, Spanish, and English. Also on the CD-ROM are Hall's Louisiana Slave Manumissions, 1720-1820 and The New Orleans Census of 1778; Paul LaChance's compilation of Louisiana censuses from 1699 through 1860; and Jeffrey and Virginia Gould's databases of various New Orleans, Pensacola, and Mobile censuses from 1784 to 1850.
