Developing Comprehensive Interpretation of Slavery at Historic Sites is an AASLH Technical Leaflet. AASLH Technical Leaflets are brief, practical guides on how to do history. Technical Leaflet #266 by Kristin L. Gallas and James DeWolf Perry tackles the results of a survey to explore the needs and challenges in interpreting slavery. The Tracing Center conducted a survey to explore the needs and challenges in interpreting slavery. We organized the responses into a framework to help structure the creation of a comprehensive and conscientious interpretation of slavery:

  1. Comprehensive content
  2. Race and identity awareness
  3. Institutional investment
  4.  Community involvement
  5. Visitor experiences and expectations
  6. Staff training
