Almost one third of the book contained the first and last names of the slaves. 1608 entries searchable alphabetically by slave owner's last name, slave's first name, state, etc.

​
The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database has information on almost 36,000 slaving voyages, and identifies 91,491 Africans taken from captured slave ships or from African trading sites. It displays the African name, age, gender, origin, country, and places of embarkation and disembarkation of each individual. Look for particular voyages in this database of documented slaving expeditions. Create listings, tables, and maps that draw on the database.
