“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.”–From the web site.  The principal sponsor of this project is the National Endowment of the Humanities, and the projcect is an Emory University Digital Library Research Initiative.
