X-Posted from "H-NET List on the History of the Atlantic World, 1500-1800" <H-ATLANTIC@H-NET.MSU.EDU> From: jeffrey Fortin SUNY - Oneonta <fortinja@ONEONTA.EDU> ____________ From Aaron Fogleman <aaronfogleman@niu.edu> Date: 30 October 2009 10:37:18 GMT-04:00 Dear Prof. Acioli, In addition to helping scholars working directly on the slave trade, the new online database is being used by people like me who work on connected issues and make brief references to the slave trade. I have cited it in Aaron Fogleman, "The Transformation of the Atlantic World, 1776-1867," Atlantic Studies 6:1 (April 2009), 5-28, and have used it in another forthcoming article. One of the reasons why the online version is so important is that non-specialists can use it so easily in their work, thus adding significantly to that work. This also means that knowledge of the slave trade is growing by leaps and bounds in the profession. I also use the data base extensively in teaching graduate seminars on the Atlantic World and undergraduate senior thesis seminars. Thus students are being introduced to this material more than ever. I hope that this helps. Best, aaron fogleman Professor Department of History Northern Illinois University
