+  abstract: Kalinago Living Language is a digitization and translation project that
+    endeavors to reformat and improve access to Indigenous Kalinago language resources
+    by producing a lexical repository and user-friendly dictionary website. The pilot
+    seeks to first compile a dataset from a corpus of printed evangelization materials
+    created by Raymond Breton, a French missionary in the seventeenth-century Caribbean.
+    We will lift entries from an OCRenabled PDF of a critical edition of Breton’s
+    Kalinago-French dictionary. Using Transkribus, an AI text recognition and transcription
+    tool trained on historical manuscripts, we will also transcribe text from a French-
+    Kalinago dictionary, a grammar, and a catechism, available in digitized rare books
+    formats. The goal is to comprehensively translate, using collaborative and machine
+    translation, French text into English to generate a direct Kalinago-to-English
+    vocabulary dataset. Once this dataset is complete, we will build a user interface
+    structured as a searchable and browsable dictionary. The landing page of this
+    online dictionary will offer a historical and linguistic framing of the project.
+    We anticipate that this resource will not only be of interest to linguists, historians,
+    and anthropologists in the anglophone academy, but also to English-speaking descendent
+    communities living in the eastern Caribbean.

+    The proposed Hidden Legacies project will create a digital repository of archival records that will document the foundational role that slavery played in fueling the growth of contemporary institutions in the United States.
+    This digital archive will allow users to access primary source records that document the connections between slavery and contemporary institutions, starting with three sectors, universities, religious institutions and
+    financial institutions. It will include mapping to allow users to visualize and locate these institutions geographically. This digital humanities project will fill an important gap. Over the past decade, the ties between
+    slavery and contemporary institutions have attracted growing interest from historians, journalists, policy makers and community members. Yet identifying, locating and accessing the archival records necessary to do
+    this research remains challenging, limiting the scope and breadth of scholarly and community research projects. Archival records are scattered across the country, in libraries, historical societies and university and
+    corporate archives. This project will bring many of those records together in one place, allowing scholars, students and researchers to build on this growing body of research, which is critical to providing a deeper
+    understanding of the systemic role that slavery played in building many of the institutions around us today.

+  abstract: This project focuses on a 1786 property map of the French colony of Saint-Domingue
+    (Haiti) dedicated to the comte de Vaudreuil, a prominent Paris-based art collector
+    whose father had governed the colony. This map records the parceling of land around
+    Cap Français, where many of the island's most lucrative sugar plantations were
+    located. It is inscribed with surnames, each belonging to a plantation owner.
+    Strikingly, they include some of the highest-profile members of the Paris art
+    world at the time. While these names may be visible on the surface, the deeper
+    histories of the connections they reveal remain unexplored. We propose to create
+    an interactive, digitally enhanced version of this map with an ambitious interface
+    comprising text, image, and linked data that allows users to discover stories
+    and pursue further research. Our project will “remap” the Paris art world in two
+    key ways. Although the 1786 map illustrates crucial if unknown links between colonial
+    networks and art in metropolitan France, it also shows the contribution of unnamed
+    individuals—notably enslaved laborers—whose lives were inextricably linked to
+    the buying and selling of art. We aim to visualize this network of people, objects,
+    and places and publish an open data set and metadata standard that encourages
+    other scholars to build on our research while interrogating mapping as a process.
+    In so doing, we hope to profoundly shift views of the eighteenth-century art world.
