SLAFNET<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe pilot project emanates from the Slavery in Africa Network (SLAFNET) initiated by Dr Marie-Pierre Ballarin and is funded by the European Commission. The long-term aim is to create a website and database to make accessible materials on slave trade, slavery and other forms of unfree labour that exist on the Southwest Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n
Researchers from several countries followed a training in metadata input using the Dublin Core format in Mauritius and attended workshops at Nantes University on mapping ship voyages and another training on using the Omeka software. The materials are organised according to country and consist of inventories of materials as well as a selection of the materials. Samples of copies of archival documents, photos of historical sites, publications, maps, and oral data are included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
