*Runaways* was conceived to amplify the subaltern voices in the historical archive of runaway slaves in and through The Bahamas. Advertisements for enslaved persons are important to see those who otherwise might be obscured from the historical narrative. Slave advertisements from The Bahamas are one of the only ways to see enslaved people’s actions clearly from primary source documents. While they speak with a colonial voice they possess great possibilities for information. Despite the silences of the enslaved voice within the newspaper advertisements, you imagine and piece together, with other primary source material, the possibilities and meanings of these silences. *Runaways* is a resource for researchers and laypersons alike who want to learn more about those *"with the look of a complete villian."* [^1] Running away was a common act of resistance amongst enslaved persons. With *Runaways*, all the runaway slave ads published in the Bahamian colony are complied in one place for everyone to view.

{% include inline_image.html collection='minicomp' pid='photo2' %}

Take a look and meet *Castalio* who ran with *Dick* from New York to Abaco or *Peter* and *Pindar* who ran away from their enslaver's plantation with their four sons. Black Loyalists, *Sambo* and *Prince*, appear in the archive, and they would later be a backbone for the free Black Loyalists community in New Providence. These persons named are *just* a small few that appear in over __300__ runaway slave advertisements.

The photos listed down below allow you to begin to *visualize* Nassau, New Providence and The Bahamas more widely.[^3] See yourself walking along *Bay Street* and breathing in the salt air. Walk *Over-the-Hill* to *Grant's Town* and see the stack stone walls and thatched roof houses. Let your mind carry you to *Alligator Bay, Long Island.* Labour alongside predial workers as they harvest sisal and herd cattle. Use the photos and the runaway slave advertisements to *see* what life would have been like in the eariler late 18th and eariler 19th century for enslaved people of colour.[^2]
