The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
A revised and enlarged database 1500-1867
http://ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/collection.htm?uri=hist-5584-1
The database is freely downloadable from the AHDS.
The trans-Atlantic slave trade remains a major field of academic enquiry
and public interest. This new database of over 34,000 slaving voyages is
the largest single resource of information available for the study of
pre-colonial African history and a major asset for the study of Atlantic
history and race relations.
Deposited by Professor Philip Richardson of the Wilberforce Institute for
the study of Slavery and Emancipation, University of Hull, the database
builds on previously published information resulting from three decades of
work from numerous scholars.
The new enlarged database includes information on some 7,000 previously
unknown voyages and additional information relating to over 10,000
voyages. The resource provides details of the itineraries and
characteristics of ships involved in the trade.
