Dr. William Holliday received a Longwood University Faculty Research Grant for summer 2011. He used this award to support a project investigating the complex commodity chains that were created between the producers and consumers of Valencian silk in the early modern era, with an emphasis on consumers in Spain’s American colonies. The research was carried out in Valencia and the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, Spain. Prof. Holliday worked in the archives after he also led another group of Longwood students overseas as part of the General Education Summer Program in Spain and Greece.
