ESTA Database Launch
6 December 2023 (16:00 – 17:00 CET)
International Institute of Social History
Onsite event, registration via e-mail: secretar[at]iisg.nl.
On 6 December 2023 (16:00 – 17:00 CET), the International Institute of Social History will host the launch of the ESTA Database that will give access to data on more than 4,000 slave trade voyages across the Indian Ocean region. This is a milestone in Asian slavery studies and opens the way to more accurate reconstructions of the slave trade in the Indian Ocean region.
During the launch, we will provide context to the database and the ESTA project as a whole, after which experts such as Wim Manuhutu and Daniel Domingues da Silva will provide reflections. Of course, there will also be room for questions from the audience and a reception afterward.
