Narratives - Free Search
Perhaps no other resource
approaches the range of human experience found in Ancestry.com's Slave
Narratives. This collection of interviews stands in contrast to other
slave narratives that appear
in most literature anthologies which were written by the rare few who,
against staggering odds, had become literate. This database provides a
more poignant picture of what it was to live as a slave in the American
South. Taken from The American Slave: A Composite Autobiography, this
collection is the most complete available picture of the African-American
slavery experience. There is simply no other historical document quite
like it. The collection contains over 20,000 pages of type-scripted
interviews with more than 3,500 former slaves collected over a ten year
period. (Requires Ancestry.com Membership)

African American Experience in Ohio 1850-1920
The African-American Experience in Ohio
1850-1920 is a digital collection brought together from a number of
individual sources specifically for this project. These sources include
manuscript collections, newspaper articles, serials, photographs, and
pamphlets. It was our intention to bring together as many diverse sources
as possible to provide evidence of the diversity and complexity of
African-American culture during this time period and to let those sources
tell their own story without interpretation. (Ohio Historical Society)
