Genealogy booklinks.com is a good source of free digital books of interest to genealogists.

It contains links to more than 15,000 online history, records, biographies and family genealogy books gathered from more than 20 sources. Also, links to additional resources can be found in black at the top of the pages.
Books are organized by name, subject and state laid out in an easy to use browse able format.

Subjects of interest include: African-Americans, slavery, and the biographies. To find individuals, use the Google site search and the terms: slave or colored.

Biographies and family genealogies are arranged alphabetically by name. Just click on the first letter of the name you’re seeking and you’ll find a three column table with the last name, source link, and title. Scroll down until you find the name and click on the link. Some names with a large number of volumes such as Smith, Baker, Brown, Clark, Johnson, White, Williams, etc. are on individual pages.

Some states such as Mich, IL, NY, and Mass, are more developed then others. Maryland has an African-American subpage which includes the First Colored Professional, Clerical & Business Directory of Baltimore for 1913-1945. Genealogy Book Links is also a good source of civil war regimental histories.

Check back often, because titles are constantly being added.
