Between 1818 and 1832, British colonial officials recorded the names of more than 20,000 enslaved people living on the island of Ceylon, the vast majority of whom would be considered Tamil today. The Legacies of Tamil Slavery Working Group seeks to transcribe this registry, work toward its eventual public display, and to think collaboratively with descendants of the enslaved about an interactive public resource with which to teach about Sri Lanka’s history of enslavement.
