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
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.
