A US-based university seeks to preserve slave and free black records of the 16th-19th centuries and underwrites a more-than-decade-long effort to digitize secular records and church records such as black parish registers of baptisms, marriages, burials and brotherhoods in Latin America. Among the indigenous Honduran population are Garifunas, descendants of Africans who escaped from slave ships that plied Honduran waters.
A San Pedro Sula couple seek funding to establish a resource service to scan and transmit relevant documents and transcribe / digitize Spanish-language records. Continuing University grant payments would make possible funds to create part-time jobs for part-time college students. A university graduate student or faculty member would provide training. The part-time workers would be paid by the number of images transcribed.
An Equity Partnership Loan will enable them to partner with the US university, purchase computers and scanning equipment, lease and build out secure work space, and hire at least 5 part-time workers. Guaranteed continuing and expanded University grants ensure several years of work.
