Posted on behalf of Caroline Bressey - please contact her directly on [log in to unmask] ***** GIS and Black History I work with a small voluntary organisation, BASA (the Black and Asian Studies Association) which is seeking to create a searchable database, (accessible via their website), of parish records, baptism records etc., which record the presence of Black and Asian people in Britain from the 1600s up until the 1850s. Ideally it would be great to have a map of Britain, broken down into regions, which people could click on in order to bring up the records relevant to that area. There are about 2000 records so far, but there will be more in the future no doubt. Does anyone know of anyone working on Historical GIS that might be interested in working with BASA on this, bearing in mind that they would not be able to pay them very much.
