How AI describes Slave Voyages

Slave Voyages is a scholarly database that documents the transatlantic slave trade, compiling records of voyages, enslaved people, their origins, and related documents to track the movement of millions of Africans across the Atlantic and the Americas. It provides three databases—Trans-Atlantic, Intra-American, and African Origins—and tools to search by vessel, place, and period, plus Timelapse maps, 3D videos, and educational resources such as lesson plans and essays. The platform is maintained by a university-based consortium (including Rice University, University of the West Indies, University of Glasgow, and others) with ongoing data updates and access to primary source materials like South Sea Company documents.
