Timelines of Museums' African Collections and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade ============================================================================ > Visualizing the correlation between museums' African collections and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade What's the correlation between the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and the items in museums' African collections? This is a visualization putting these two pieces of data together, using publicly available museums data from a handful of museums. All museum data has been aggregated and anonymized in `data/collection.csv`. Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade data provided by slavevoyages.org ## Getting Started All the anonymized musuem data is in a single CSV in `data/collection.csv`. It's a two column file in the format: | Year | Number of object | |------|------------------| | -100 | 5 | | 15 | 5 | | 1993 | 5 | To use your own museum's data, create a CSV formatted the same way and replace this file with yours. The visualization will render showing your data in the bottom half. ## About Prepared for a demonstration at Museums and the Web 2016
