- The Overseers of Early American Slavery represents the culmination of an extended programme of research part-funded by the ESRC, the British Academy and several visiting fellowships in the USA. The book is 180,000 words in length, and was sole-authored by Laura Sandy. It draws on the collection and analysis of a large body of archival research, undertaken over a considerable period of time in libraries and archives, in England, Scotland and the USA. Primary sources include well over 100 sets of family and personal papers, state government and legal records, and colonial newspapers covering Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia.
