Boston Desegregation Archive
Annotated Case Law and Digital Reference
A 2018 joint effort between the Northeastern University Archives, the NuLawLab, and the Boston Research Center (BRC), this project focused on exploring the social and historical materials at the center of major legal cases in Boston related to race equity and desegregation. Our first prototype models an approach that links archival materials, datasets, and narratives by augmenting the text of the landmark case of Morgan v. Hennigan with location information and archival materials, including Boston Globe photographic archives.
