The Atlantic Slave Trade and Slave Life in the America's: A Visual Record—This searchable collection now contains approximately 1,200 images.

Aside from revising and correcting bibliographic and contextual data, we have expanded our coverage of West Africa, the Atlantic crossing, the Hispanic areas of South and Central America, and the Hispanic Caribbean, including Cuba. We also include, courtesy of the J. Pierpont Morgan Library, four images from Histoire Naturelle des Indes, the celebrated Drake Manuscript; we believe these images represent the earliest eye-witness depictions of Africans in the New World. 

Although we will continue to occasionally add images, additions will be done on a very selective basis (e.g., enhancing coverage of an underrepresented New World area).  We will continue, however, to correct errors as these are brought to our attention by users of the website or through our own research.  We will also modify the bibliographic entries and historical contexts of the images as particular needs arise.  The date of the latest up-date to the website is now shown on the website's front page; we hope this chronological marker will be useful to viewers who consult the website. The compilers continue to welcome any corrections to the current bibliographic and historical information on the website.

Responses from colleagues in various countries over the last several years continue to be enormously helpful in improving the information in the entries, thus enhancing the value of this site as a research and teaching tool. Comments can be addressed to Handler at jh3v@virginia.edu
