William and Ellen Craft left Georgia to escape their enslavement, but their journey took them through the South, Washington, D.C., Mid-Atlantic states, and finally, to Massachusetts in New England, before they had to leave Boston due to the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. Therefore, it is not a surprise that there are archives (whether at a museum, a library, etc.) in those states and Washington, D.C. with artifacts and/or archival material related to the Crafts, including original content generated by an archive. What may be a surprise is that there are also archives across the country with Craft-related items. Below are select archive logos, that once clicked on, go to the respective site.
