Atlantic Digital Scholarship is a space dedicated to exploring the history, people, and culture of Atlantic Canada through digital research, collaboration, and public engagement. Originally created to foster scholarly community and make greater use of digitized archival resources, the project brings together regional history and digital methodology to illuminate the Atlantic world connections that shaped northeastern North America. At its core, the site is meant to serve as both a hub for regional scholarship and a platform for sharing ongoing historical research.

The site now features my current work, including The Saint John Customs House Index, a digital transcription project documenting ships and merchandise entering Saint John, New Brunswick’s principal colonial port. By transforming the Treasurer’s accounts into searchable data, the project reveals how the Loyalist City was linked to ports along the American seaboard and to the plantation economies of the Caribbean. As this work expands to include comparable records from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, Atlantic Digital Scholarship aims to map the commercial and political networks that connected Atlantic Canada to the wider Atlantic world.
