Why it matters
Documenting Africans in Trans-Atlantic Slavery (DATAS) is an innovative collaborative project focused on exploring the ethnic identities, origins, ethnonyms, and migration trajectories of Africans in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
It provides crucial resources for the digital humanities, linguistic history, and genealogical reconstruction by analyzing naming conventions, registries, and baptismal records across colonial archives.
