Rehearsals for Living: Abolitionist Papers in the Digital Age

The Rehearsals for Living project is digitizing and making available the papers of 19th-century abolitionists. The project offers a unique opportunity to learn about the lives and work of these activists, and to gain a deeper understanding of the abolitionist movement.

The project is named after a speech by Frederick Douglass, in which he argued that the abolition of slavery was not simply a matter of freeing slaves, but of creating a new society in which all people were free and equal. The Rehearsals for Living project seeks to contribute to this goal by making the papers of abolitionists available to scholars, students, and the general public.

The papers include letters, speeches, diaries, and other documents that provide a rich and detailed account of the abolitionist movement.
