        A museum in Richmond, Virginia did an exhibit on slavery a number of
years
        ago (1992?) that was quite well received. Im sorry I can't remember
the name
        of the museum (formerly the Museum of the Confederacy?), but I would
think
        they might be helpful. The National Park Service has been mandated
by
        Congress to initiate interpretation on the history of the
Underground
        Railroad in the United States. You may want to check out their web
site.
        Also the professional magazine published by NPS with articles by a
variety
        of federaL historians called CRM (cultural resource management) may
have had
        an issue on this topic; I believe it can also be accessed through
the NPS
        web site: www.nps.gov.

        Good luck!
