This document is built around a three-page "slavery census" that identifies over 60 enslaved individuals and 36 slaveholders in the Plymouth County town of Hanover, Massachusetts. The narrative is expanded by blending images of primary sources and vintage local history books, original photography, and short essays unpacking key stories of Hanover's culture of slavery.
