This site is difficult to assess. It contains materials from major authorities on the Atlantic slave trade: Curtin, Klein, and Manning. It appears to be an online archive of data sets assembled by these scholars, so it would be of interest to researchers.

A newer, and more user-friendly site covering the same topic is the SlaveVoyages.org.
