I wish I knew the answer to your question, but do not. I doubt that there is a source for the intra-African trade comparable to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade database, which is really what you want. However, I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Contact either, or both, the following scholars, both of whom will be able to guide you toward authoritative information: Professor Paul E. Lovejoy of the Department of History, York University, Toronto; and/or Professor Joseph C. Miller, Department of History, University of Virginia, Charlottesville. (Some resourceful Googling should yield contact information for both.) 2. Post your query on H-SLAVERY, if you have not already done so. If you are not subscribed to H-SLAVERY, I would be happy to post your query for you, with your permission.
