They are offering these materials free of charge to U.S. Core subscribers, academics, and other institutional libraries in order to provide a platform for research.

Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture & Law

 

“This HeinOnline collection brings together a multitude of essential legal materials on slavery in the United States and the English-speaking world. This includes every statute passed by every colony and state on slavery, every federal statute dealing with slavery, and all reported state and federal cases on slavery. The cases go into the 20th century, because long after slavery was ended, there were still court cases based on issues emanating from slavery.”
