African Slave Trade Database

The African Slave Trade Database is a comprehensive collection of historical data documenting the transatlantic slave trade, which forcibly transported millions of Africans to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This database includes information on slave ship voyages, the number of enslaved individuals, their origins, and the routes taken. It aims to provide researchers, educators, and the public with a clearer understanding of the scale, impact, and legacy of this trade, fostering awareness of its profound human and societal consequences throughout history.
