New: Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database

Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database

This resource provides data on over 35,000 slave ship voyages which forcibly carried over 10 million Africans to the Americas from the early 16th to the mid-19th centuries. You can search for particular voyages, use the African name database of 67,000 names, view and even create maps, retrieve numerical data, read explanatory essays, and find and use lesson plans.

This database was previously only available on CD-ROM in the Davis Library Reference Department.
