Today’s bonus episode features in-depth conversations with Dr. Nafees M. Khan and Dr. Gregory O'Malley, key contributors on the Operational Committee behind the Slave Voyages database.
We explore the database's journey from inception and collaborative history in the 1970s to a CD ROM to an extensive online resource documenting over 12.5 million African forced migrations during the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
The discussion continues with an exploration of the database's contribution to documenting over 35,000 transatlantic slave trading voyages, emphasizing its development, the methodology behind data collection, and its significance for understanding the slave trade's scope and impact. Khan and O'Malley explain the transformation of data collection from punch cards to an accessible online platform, underscoring its value for education and research on the African diaspora and slave trade intricacies. The episode broadens into a discussion on race, culture, and the depth of African records within the database, revealing its educational potential through lesson plans, interactive maps, and detailed searches.
