SlaveVoyages.org is the world’s largest repository of information about the trans-Atlantic and intra-American slave trades: the routes, the ships, the manifests and the human beings at their core. And now, after nearly 20 years at Emory University, the website and its treasure trove of data have moved to their new home at Rice.
“It’s the first time in the history of this project that it’s shifting hands,” said Rice professor Daniel Domingues of the momentous undertaking. His decades of research at both Emory and Rice on slave trading expeditions have been crucial to expanding a database first published in 1999 on CD-ROM.
