- This co-authored book reflects research undertaken by the authors at UCL as part of two Research Council grants on which Catherine Hall (then Professor of History at UCL) was Principal Investigator. These were ‘British Slave Ownership and its economic, social, political and cultural legacies’ (ESRC, 2009–May 2012) and ‘The structure and significance of British Caribbean slave-ownership 1763-1833’ (ESRC [75%] and AHRC [25%] 2012-2015). Both projects extended research on slave compensation records in The National Archives previously published in Draper’s first monograph.
Hall, Draper, McClelland, Donington and Lang all undertook prosopographical research on both of the two Research Council projects. Each also undertook one or more specific strands of individual research relating to the projects’ core subject: British slavery in the Caribbean and the consequences of its abolition.
This combination of—on the one hand—shared research endeavour focused on slavery and compensation claims and—on the other hand—individual research projects under that shared rubric, is reflected in the co-authorship of the volume as a whole and the named individuals who are specified as authors in each chapter of the volume.
The book comprises a co-authored Introduction (chapter 1), five substantive chapters (chapters 2-6) a co-authored Conclusion and five sole- or co-authored Appendices. The two REF eligible staff from the two projects, Draper and Hall, are named as joint authors (with McClelland) of the Introduction (pages 1-33) and Conclusion (pages 250-252). Additionally, Draper is sole-author of chapters 2 and 3 (pages 34-126) and joint-author of Appendix 1 (pages 253-280); Hall is sole-author of chapter 5 (pages 163-202).
For assessment purposes, Draper’s research is published in the Introduction, chapters 2-3, Conclusion and Appendix 1 (pages 1-126, 250-252, 253-280). Hall’s research is published in the Introduction, chapter 5 and Conclusion (1-33, 163-202, 250-252).
