The 1852 Slatter & Callan Map of Boston

African-Americans in Antebellum Boston

We also discovered an 1852 map by Slatter & Callan that depicts every structure in the city. We photographed and digitized the Beacon Hill and West End neighborhoods in hopes of displaying our demographic information from the database on the individual residences displayed on the map.
