Abstract

The article focuses on "Investigating Indentured Servitude: Visualizing Experiences of Colonial America," a digital exhibition that explores the history of migration and unfree labor in colonial British North America through a dataset of indentures from 1771 to 1773. The project aims to engage users with interactive visualizations centered on themes of distance, gender, and time, while also highlighting individual stories, such as that of Catherine Biesman, who was indentured for an unusually long period of twenty-six years. The exhibition encourages user interaction and feedback, emphasizing its status as a living project that seeks to uncover the narratives of individuals often overlooked in history.
