Voyages: The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database is the culmination of several decades of independent and collaborative archival research by historians and of over two years of programming and site development by a multi-disciplinary team at Emory University, working with scholars and universities worldwide. With major funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and additional funding from the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, this team expanded the original CD-ROM publication, The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (Cambridge, 1999), making it freely available online and capable of ongoing growth through a public data contribution feature.

 

The Global Health Chronicles Project is a joint initiative of the Emory University Libraries, the Rollins School of Public Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The Smallpox Eradication Chronicle is the first component of the Global Health Chronicles project. Content is organized into categories that describe both the broad genre of work (oral history, presentation) and in some cases, the actual file format (audio/video). Names of people identified in the collection item have been cataloged and arranged alphabetically for browsing. Similarly, you can browse the collection using the alphabetical list of countries or a filter by date.
