Since 2018, Enslaved: Peoples of the Historical Slave Trade (Enslaved.org) has been serving the needs of scholars, genealogists, students, and members of the public interested in the people of the historical slave trade. Enslaved.org is a discovery hub that helps users to search and find information from a large and growing number of datasets and digital projects. Researchers can learn from linking data, visualizing larger relations and movements, and connecting the traces of people from one dataset to the next. More importantly, users can discover and explore the original sources of the information. You can learn more about and begin your search here.
Enslaved.org also provides richly detailed stories of the lives of those enslaved. It is our hope that the stories will provide a context for the importance of recovering the lives of those enslaved. Through the discovery hub we hope to find more links to and between these stories, and over time that our users and contributors can tell new stories.
