The next program in the Virginia Heritage Resource Center's Mining the
Treasure House lecture series will take place at noon on Wednesday, 16
February, 2005 in the conference rooms adjacent to the lobby in the
Library of Virginia at 800 East Broad Street in downtown Richmond.
Douglas Sanford, director of the Center for Historic Preservation at the
University of Mary Washington, will discuss the valuable evidence on
aspects of slave housing to be found in the fire insurance policies of
the Mutual Assurance Society. Sanford will explain the value of this
evidence in the light of ongoing efforts by archaeologists to compile
standardized databases of data related to the material and social
outcomes of slavery in the Chesapeake region.
