Hi List participants

This elegantly designed website tells the story of colonial slavery at the
Cape of Good Hope.The website focuses primarily on chattel slavery as
practised in the
Cape Colony between 1658 and 1834

Unlike the Transatlantic slavetrade that exported slaves from Africa, this
slave holding society existed at the Cape.

In 1652, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) established a refreshment
station at the southern tip of Africa.

A few years later in 1658, the first slaves were imported initially from
Africa, and thererafter from across the 'trans indian ocean slave trade
route', and the Cape remained a slave society for 176 years until it was
abolished in 1834.

This website is a project of Iziko Museums, which is part of a larger
project to acknowledge the contribution of slaves made to South Africa.

Work in progress includes the development of a Slave
Museum and Memory Centre at the Slave Lodge in Adderley Street, Cape Town.
