Papers from the XIV Conference of the Association of Caribbean Historians, Barbados, 1982.

The origin of the Association of Caribbean Historians (ACH) is rooted in discussions on collaboration across the region initiated by Jacques Adelaide-Merlande of Guadeloupe with colleagues in the University of the West Indies (UWI). In April 1969, Jacques invited UWI historians to participate in a colloquium on “From Slavery to Emancipation.” Out of the subsequent discussion, first, between Jacques and Woodville Marshall, Carl Campbell and Neville Hall and, later, inside the UWI department of history, the UWI historians organized the second conference at UWI, Cave Hill, Barbados in April 1970.
