What kinds of essays are published on the website?
Presently, the essays subsection of Understanding the Database contains three types of contributions: interpretative essays, vignettes or biographical sketches about individuals transported on slave ships, and a research note. We will periodically change the contents of this section, adding longer and shorter essays, notes, reports on archives, projects about the slaves, and in general any kind of text for which the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database is a major source. Users are invited to submit manuscripts to voyages@emory.edu.
