North Star: A Portal for Black History in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent

The University of Windsor and the Essex County Black Historical Research Society partnered to create digital gateway to carefully vetted academic sources, museums, heritage sites, archives and interactive learning experiences that tell the story of Black Canadians in Windsor-Essex and Chatham-Kent. This portal reduces barriers to education for researchers, students, residents and tourists who want to explore the profound impact of Black Canadians on this area of the province. Great care was taken to model a high standard of digital conservation practices and research standards.
