The Dutch Transatlantic Slave Trade
New Methods, Perspectives, and Sources
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
In recent years, the archives of the Middelburgse Commercie Compagnie (MCC), the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and the notarial archives of Amsterdam (SAA) were included in large-scale digitization projects. As a result, stories that were hidden for hundreds of years about the ins and outs of the trans-Atlantic slave trade are coming to light, waiting to be told.
This new data, combined with digital tools, has allowed a new generation of historians to conduct in-depth research and analysis on previously understudies aspects of the Dutch Transatlantic slave trade.
