New Genetics and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Database Working Group

Co-Directors: Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Evelynn M. HammondsUnder the direction of Professors Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Evelynn M. Hammonds, the New Genetics and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Working Group was convened for the first time in January 2006 and included the nation’s top scientists, social scientists, and historians who discussed the latest research in genetics and how to effectively use historical and social contexts to understand the origins of the Africans who survived the Middle Passage in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to the United States.

Centers for instruction and collaborative research in synch with the shared mission

Centers that explore the changes that are effecting them and what they are becoming: a collective autopoiesis

Create an audit authority to assure perpetual persistence and access to the myriad data and information layers (articles, research statistics, course information, archival drafts, pre-publications)

The Next LibraryThe Next Library

A formal, physical entity with staff and some analog materials with an individual identity (name, tradition, areas of special focus)

Beneath, a tremendously complex virtual strata that is coherent with 10 or more institutions in a shared functional infrastructure

Operations and services inextricable from the wider collaborative: a new ‘information entanglement’ model
