Molding the Poor Children of Antebellum Savannah The Southern Charities Project set out to establish the meaning and role of charitable work in the antebellum Southern United States. As a by-product of this the numbers and locations of charitable societies were placed in a website for easy reference.

This dataset established that charities existed throughout the south, even in small communities. Dataset [data collection]
