Voyages: The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database has information on almost 35,000 slaving voyages that forcibly embarked over 10 million Africans for transport to the Americas between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. It offers researchers, students and the general public a chance to rediscover the reality of one of the largest forced movements of peoples in world history.

Be sure to explore the various resources linked at the top of the page. This database has a wealth of information for anyone interested in researching the Slave Trade.

The New York Times has a nice review.
