US Black Heritage Project
One Place Studies Project

A One Place Study (OPS) is a study of the genealogy and history of a specific place - see the One Place Studies project page for more information. An African-American Place Study is a OPS for a location in the United States that had a majority African-American population during the time period being studied. If you would like to start an African-American Place Study, please follow the directions on the One Place Studies project page to answer their G2G post, but mention in your answer that it will be an African-American place study so that the appropriate categories can be added when they set up your study's page and categories. If you already have a OPS for a location with a majority African-American population and want to have African-American Place Study categories added to it, please contact the leaders of the US Black Heritage Project so that they can get it properly categorized.

Category Page for One Place Study

• The category for the One Place Study should be set up by the OPS project leaders. It will generally be set up as a normal One Place Study, but two things needed to be added on the category page:
  • Add to the CIB:
    |Project=US Black Heritage
  • Add below the CIB: [[Category:[State], African-American Place Studies]] (i.e. [[Category:Mississippi, African-American Place Studies]]).

Example: Mound Bayou, Mississippi One Place Study category

State-level African-American Place Study Category Pages

• Naming structure: "[State], African-American Place Studies" (i.e. "Mississippi, African-American Place Studies").
• The contents of the page should be the following, substituting the name of the state for Mississppi:

[[Category:Mississippi, Place Studies]]

[[Category:United States, African-American Place Studies]]

[[Category:Mississippi, African-American History]]
