A massive trove of undelivered mail seized by British warships offers a rare glimpse into the lives of "ordinary men, women and children," says Dagmar Freist, director of the Prize Papers project.
Somewhere in the U.K. National Archives in London, there are 4,000 boxes containing more than 160,000 undelivered letters from ships captured by the British during the naval wars of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
Now those letters ā some of which are bundled in old mail bags and affixed with wax seals that have never been broken ā are about to go online.
āYou can imagine the excitement being confronted with such a treasure,ā said historian Dagmar Freist, director of the Prized Papers project, which aims to digitize the entire collection.
āThese letters have not been filtered, they have not been censored, nothing has been thrown away.Ā Quite a few have not been opened.ā
AS IT HAPPENS: One manās letter from inside a Japanese internment camp
AS IT HAPPENS: Long-lost Yiddish songs from WW II tell tales of Jewish resistance
Freist told As It Happens host Carol Off on Tuesday that her team is diligently working to sort through the mail, originally kept for martial court records and stored in the Tower of London until 1850, when they were moved to the Public Record Office in London, and later the National Archives.
The mail, sent mostly between 1652 and 1815, is written in 19 different languages and contains songs, notebooks, packages and personal correspondence.
āSome of this mail is more than three centuries years old, and itās from all over the world,ā Freist said.
āA new perspective on historyā
The documents shed new light on world history, with detailed ship logs of climate conditions, cartography, trade ledgers and correspondence about major events, including colonialism and the American and French Revolutionary wars.
There are records from the slave trade, listing the names of enslaved people, their costs, and what slave owners paid for them.
But what fascinates Freist the most are the personal letters between ordinary folks ā a part of history she says is often overshadowed in favour of stories about powerful people.
āI think we will have a new perspective on history, which has been defined as a so-called colonial history or history of empire building,ā she said.
āWith this material, we will be able to lend a voice to people of whom we usually donāt have any evidence, especially in a colonial context, like ordinary men, women and children.ā
Among the discoveries is a 1765 letter from a woman named Elizabeth Sprigs, an indentured servant in Maryland writing to her father at home in England.
āShe is very, very poor.Ā She doesnāt even have anything to wear,ā Freist said.
āShe apologizes to her father that she would approach him, apologizing for whatever she might have done wrong in the past, and sheās desperate and she asks him that he would send her some clothes because all she has is a blanket and the food she gets.ā
But, of course, her father never got the letter and itās not known what became of Sprigs.
Madam Dupont from Quebec
Many of the letters are made inherently tragic by having never reached their destination.
A series of four letters from a Madam Dupont in Quebec between 1702 and 1703 show a woman frantically trying to reach her husband, who is away on business in France, and growing increasingly despondent by his lack of response.
āThese letters are full of the hazards of the flu epidemic and chicken pox in Quebec and her tone gets more and more desperate, because she doesnāt get any sign of life from her husband,ā Freist said.
āShe feels utterly neglected and resented and finally decides not to write anymore. In the letter she says: āYou canāt love me anymore if you donāt answer.Ā I will now stop writing.Ā I give up.āĀ But then she writes again and she implores her husband once again to come back.ā
Freist said people understood that letters could become lost at sea, and would often make contingency plans.
āThey commented again and again on their letters, āIn case you donāt receive this, I will send another one in two weeks time.āĀ Or they sent off four letters of the same kind on four different ships,ā she said.

Sorting and digitizing all the mail is expected to take 20 years at a cost of 9.3 million Euros ($14 million Cdn).
The project is funded by the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities and the work is being done in partnership with the German Historical Institute London and the National Archives in London.
Wow!
Ok, but Data handed him the paper upside down so that La Forge could dramatically flip it around to the camera. I love this show

As the current resident of the White House stokes anger by continuing to minimize the growing Puerto Rican death toll from Hurricanes Maria and Irma, organizing grows to put the U.S. on trial for 120 years of colonial crimes in Puerto Rico. The International Tribunal for this purpose convenes at Holyrood Church/Iglesia Santa Cruz in New York City on Oct. 27.
A national Decolonize Puerto Rico week of actions supports the aims of the Tribunal through organizing solidarity with Puerto Rican events marking the first anniversary of Hurricane Maria on Sept. 20 and the first Puerto Rican uprising for independence, Grito de Lares, on Sept. 23.

The saxophonist is Big Jay McNeely, who died on Sept. 16th 2018 at the age of 91. He was a crucial part of LAās postwar R&B explosion and helped lay the foundation for rock and roll.
In May 1953,Ā EbonyĀ magazine reported, āA young white lad got so hepped up over Big Jayās music that he jumped out of a balcony onto the main floor, where he miraculously landed without hurting himself and went into a riotous dance.ā
made the mistake of reading up about Alexander the Greatās relationship with his best friend Hephaestion and learnt that he was kind of a drama queen because
after Hephaestion died, he spent maybe 1.5 billion dollars on his funeral which is a conservative estimateĀ
spent all night weeping over the body until they dragged him away
extinguished a light only reserved to signify the death of the king (i.e. himself, Alexander the Great)
went to the oracle and petitioned to have Hephaestion granted the status of a god but was denied
nine months later, was still planning expensive monuments dedicated to his pal, except then he died, so what can you do
people say the only thing that ever defeated Alexander the Great was Hephaestionās thighs
thereās so much more

Communal living is hardly a departure from traditionāit's a return to how humans have been making their homes for thousands of years.
1950: āBy the year 2000, everyone will live in luxury and machines will do all the jobs we donāt want to do.ā
2018: āMedieval living is the new retro housing trend! Share a bed with six people! Spend your spare time mending your tattered rags! Throw your dead into a shallow mass grave because you canāt afford funerals! So hip!ā
Ok so the article does make very good points; cohousing is very important as an alternative housing model for certain demographics, and in general, humans benefit from living in a communal way, where they can socialize freely. Cohousing isnāt (in modern times) about sharing beds or bedrooms, or even necessarily houses. It can be presented as a large house with many bedrooms and a common area, or a dorm setup, or even a compound or makeshift village. Thereās a lot to be said about small communities of friends and likeminded people coming together to pool resources. Humans are very much a social species, after all.
However, this article completely misses the point:
WEāRE POOR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TRY AND ACHIEVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSEHOLD! ECONOMY IS FUCKED, GOVERNMENT HATES US, THIS ISNāT FOR FUN, ITāS TO SURVIVE-!!!
Gah, this makes me want to tear my hair out. Thereās so many benefits to communal living, but thatās not why weāre gravitating toward it. We just canāt afford to live other ways.

Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy exceptĀ youāre exploring a supposedly haunted cave at night, and it seems to just start playing somewhere in the depths. As you head toward the source of the music and as it gets louder, you begin to hear whispers.
