The Register of British Slave-Traders

Automated excerpt

The Register of British Slave-traders compiles and presents information on all known slave-traders in Britain who invested in the trafficking of captive Africans from 1563 to 1807. Use the database to learn who financed the British slave trade, where they lived, what legacies they made, which other businesses they were involved with, and which organizations they were connected to. The Register focusses on the individuals who sought to profit from the enslavement of over 3 million African men, women, and children, whose identity was – for the most part – erased from the historical record.
