The BBC’s Abolition Season, marking 200 years since the Abolition Slave Trade Act was passed, has has an interesting Google Map mashup as its centrepiece.
The map tells a concise story of the slave trade, with locations attached.
What would make it even more interesting is if people could submit geo-tagged information about the slave trade for inclusion in the map. It’s a little limited as it is – but I really like the format and the way that you can zoom right into the spot where a given event happened.
