Online Collections of Documents

These online collections contain sets of documents related to slavery and the slave trade. Some contain modern day transcriptions, while others contain scans of the original objects. While you might have to search these collections to find a document that interests you, simply browsing these collections can help you find primary sources for your research paper.

Databases and Digital Libraries

All of these digital libraries will require you to do keyword searches to find their resources. While they are all different, they do have many similarities and typically, using the "Advanced Search" option will allow you to target your search to the subject and time period that you are looking for. Each resource below contains suggestions for how to do this effectively.
