The Archives of Puerto Rican Slavery Map is a digital tool that expands access to primary sources related to the lives of enslaved and emancipated people in Puerto Rico. Drawing on knowledge developed over years of related research, this living tool brings together information about accessing collections related to the people subjected to slavery and its afterlives in Puerto Rico. Each pin on the map provides key details for using that archive - its physical location, hours of operation and contact information, collections guides, procedures to access, and real-time directions. End users, from researchers and genealogists to those with a thirst for this knowledge, can find answers to the pressing questions of "where do I start?" and "where can I go next?" This map is part of a broader suite of tools meant to support researchers' ability to find, interpret, and ethically engage the archives of Puerto Rican slavery.
