Welcome to the Halsey Family Archive!

This digital archive, created and published by Jessica Halsey, is aimed at preserving Halsey family history through photographs and oral history interviews. You can browse all items here as well as view specific collections here.

This archive also features an exhibit titled, "Imagination and Ancestral Memory in the Halsey Family Archive," which is a chapter from Jessica Halsey's Master's thesis. Using Saidiya Hartman's archival method of critical fabulation, Jessica reimagines what a digital archive can look like. You can read more here.
