I would add that, as Jamaica's plantation economy grew in the 18th c, its reliance on indentured servants (the exported paupers) decreased. In general, in the West Indies indentured servants were more important in the 17th c, whereas the British workhouse system was an 18th c creation.

I'm not very convinced that the phenomenon they attempt to describe deserves to be called a "nexus". Slave traders no doubt helped set up and run workhouses in their own towns but I imagine that came more from a paternalistic desire to improve their own vicinity than a great transatlantic scheme.

Reported, hoping for a speedy resolution

Possibly Transkribus?

Yes, that is what I have done in the past

Great article. Should help contextualise some things I talk about in my thesis, exploring enslaved doctors/healers in Kingston.

Can't even write an email with that few citations!

Have been having some problems with it since yesterday evening.

Similar thing in my thesis with books titled "History of Jamaica", or words to that effect.

Good news! There is already a book on Morice. Matthew David Mitchell, *The Prince of Slavers*. I have used it in my thesis research.

Could always discuss archival silences, too

Looks tantalising. I have always admired Open Book Publishers, but a more traditional UP would be Liverpool, who publish a lot of maritime history.

In Jamaican archives you get a whole range of microfilm readers, from the good to the bad to the ugly.
