Book Description
In 1853, the Commonwealth of Virginia began an annual registration of births and deaths. The Birth Index of Slaves, 1853-1865 was later transcribed by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) and recorded on microfilm. While the information - name of informant, infant's name, mother's name, birth date, place of birth - is of immense value to genealogists, working with the microfilm can be problematic. Hence, the creation of this multi-volume reference work, Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865. The Geographic Supplement will assist those whose research has led them to a locale rather than to an informant. There is an alphabetized list of informants for each county and city. The surname (or corporate name) appears once in each locale. The researcher then consults the "lettered" volume of the Virginia Slave Births Index, 1853-1865 for the informant's full name and the infant's birth date. The researcher should then examine the county (or city) birth register for that year for additional information. When two locales are reported for one birth, the researcher should examine the birth register of the first named county (or city) before proceeding. Birth registers for this period are on microfilm at the Library of Virginia.

Book Description
Winner of the Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship Award, American Sociological Association Co-Winner of the Ralph J. Bunche Award, American Political Science Association In a work of prodigious scholarship and enormous breadth, which draws on the tribal, ancient, premodern, and modern worlds, Orlando Patterson discusses the internal dynamics of slavery in sixty-six societies over time. These include Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, China, Korea, the Islamic kingdoms, Africa, the Caribbean islands, and the American South. Praise for the previous edition: “Densely packed, closely argued, and highly controversial in its dissent from much of the scholarly conventional wisdom about the function and structure of slavery worldwide.” —Boston Globe “There can be no doubt that this rich and learned book will reinvigorate debates that have tended to become too empirical and specialized. Patterson has helped to set out the direction for the next decades of interdisciplinary scholarship.” —David Brion Davis, New York Review of Books “This is clearly a major and important work, one which will be widely discussed, cited, and used. I anticipate that it will be considered among the landmarks in the study of slavery, and will be read by historians, sociologists, and anthropologists—as well as many other scholars and students.” —Stanley Engerman
