Since 1991 · 1991–today
The slave trade on this coast and the people who came out of it: the captives of Bunce Island and the Amistad, the Black Poor, Nova Scotian and Maroon settlers, and the Liberated Africans freed from slave ships.
Many were made by colonial officials, missionaries and foreign visitors. Titles and descriptions come from the collections that hold them and can carry the attitudes and language of their time. We show them as historical records, not as endorsements. Dates, eras and categories were assigned automatically from those records and some will be wrong. If you or your family appear in a picture, you hold rights to one, a detail is wrong, or you think a picture should not be here, press “Report this picture” under it: your note reaches our editors with the picture attached, and they can take it down straight away.
