Perhaps no other resource approaches the range of human
experience found in Ancestry.com's Slave Narratives. This collection of
interviews stands in contrast to other slave narratives that appear in most
literature anthologies which were written by the rare few who, against
staggering odds, had become literate. This database provides a more poignant
picture of what it was to live as a slave in the American South. Taken from The
American Slave: A Composite Autobiography, this collection is the most complete
available picture of the African-American slavery experience. There is simply no
other historical document quite like it.
