SlaveVoyages, a comprehensive digital database documenting the trans-Atlantic slave trade, is transitioning to Harvard University for permanent hosting. Announced by Henry Louis Gates Jr., this tool aggregates four decades of research on over 30,000 voyages and 200,000 individuals involved in the slave trade. The project resided at Rice University, showcasing rich data through compelling visualizations since its launch in 2008. Support from significant institutions like the National Endowment for the Humanities has been crucial to its development, with a focus on educational outreach.
Education is central to the mission of the initiative.
