Slave Trade History Teaching Resource

Sunday 14th February 2010

The Recovered Histories website gives an insight into the history of enslavement and those who fought to maintain and abolish it and is a useful resource for history teachers needing information on the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

The collection of pamphlets and supplementary text can be searched by keyword, title, author or date; or users can simply browse the collection from beginning to end.  There is also a useful timeline tour in which pamphlets can be discovered as relevemt years are highlighted.

The site provides a wealth of resources for history teachers and those interested in studying the Transatlantic Slave Trade and also provides a starting point for those who have little or no knowledge of Britains involvement in the trafficking of Africans and the abolition movement.

As part of the Recovered Histories "Breaking the Silence" project their is also a website dedicated to educating young people about the subject - the site contains lesson plans, classroom activities and other resources.
