The Digital Library on American Slavery at UNCG has been recognized by the National Park Service as its first-ever “virtual” stop on the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. As a “virtual” stop, it offers ready access to thousands of resources with a few keystrokes, wherever the researcher may be. The Network to Freedom program consists of locations with a verifiable connection to the Underground Railroad; educational and interpretive programs that pertain to the Underground Railroad; and research and educational facilities.
