Anglican Baptisms of People of African Descent in Barbados, 1651-1800

Anglican Baptisms of People of African Descent in Barbados is a dataset comprising records of 4,822 non-white individuals baptized in the Church of England in colonial Barbados between 1651 and 1800. This dataset offers a detailed look into the intersection of race, religion, and society during the height of the British Atlantic slave trade by providing data for historians, genealogists, and educators. The dataset records the names, dates, gender, condition of servitude, and racial classifications, which allows for an in-depth analysis of the social dynamics within the Church of England and its non-white congregants in Barbados. The dataset also raises significant questions for future research, such as the role of Anglicanism in the social mobility of non-white people. This research is connected to a similar dataset on Anglican baptisms in Jamaica previously published in the Journal of Slavery and Data Preservation. Researchers are encouraged to look at the datasets together for a better understanding of the complex relationship between Anglicanism and the institution of slavery in Barbados, Jamaica, and the wider British Atlantic.

《巴巴多斯非裔后裔圣公会受洗记录数据集》（Anglican Baptisms of People of African Descent in Barbados）收录了1651年至1800年间，殖民时期巴巴多斯境内英格兰国教会（Church of England）为4822名非白人个体施行的受洗记录。本数据集为历史学家、家谱学家与教育工作者提供了研究数据，得以细致展现英国大西洋奴隶贸易鼎盛时期种族、宗教与社会三者的交织关联。数据集记录了受洗者姓名、受洗日期、性别、奴役状况以及种族分类信息，可用于深入分析巴巴多斯境内英格兰国教会及其非白人会众群体内部的社会动态。本数据集同时为后续研究提出了若干重要议题，例如圣公会（Anglicanism）在非白人群体社会流动中所扮演的角色。本数据集关联了此前发表于《奴隶制与数据保护期刊》（Journal of Slavery and Data Preservation）的牙买加圣公会受洗同类数据集。我们鼓励研究者结合两套数据集开展分析，以更全面地理解圣公会与奴隶制制度在巴巴多斯、牙买加乃至更广泛的英属大西洋地区之间的复杂联系。更多相关资源可通过网址www.religionandslavery.org获取。
