'The collection is not intended to be exhaustive, but the images provide a glimpse into pre-colonial Africa and the experiences of enslaved Africans who were transported to the Americas, and the lives of their descendants in the slave societies of the New World. Since this website is designed for use by a wide and diverse audience, the compilers are very interested in maintaining historical and bibliographic accuracy.'
