]]> In 1997 the Department of History at Fordham University in New York City created a web repository as a result of The Internet History Sourcebooks Project with access to a wide variety of historical texts and primary sources of documentation, whose purpose is to bring young students closer to the knowledge of the basic sources for the study of history. The website allows users to navigate through its contents in a simple and quick way. Each user can access the main blocks of the site by means of subject indexes at the top of each tab. In this case, we highlight the Modern History in the Movies section, where we will have access to numerous references to cinematographic works that deal with the Modern Era

]]> The European colonisers trafficked millions of slaves captured mainly in Africa in order to use them as labour for numerous activities. In this way, thousands and thousands of people were transported to various regions of the planet, as we know well in the case of the American continent. This resource provides access to a large database called the “Transatlantic Slave Trade Database”, which contains an immense amount of information on the development of slavery from the 16th century to the end of the 19th century. It is a project supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (United States) and is the result of the efforts of scholars from different institutions, including historians, cartographers and slave trade specialists and researchers. The database itself is divided into various fields such as timelines, maps, 3D videos, essays and estimates and a detailed image bank.
