Over one thousand pages of parliamentary papers dealing with the attempts of the British to curb the slave-trade following the official end of the trade in 1807, and the emancipation of British slaves in 1834. While most countries were signatories to the agreements banning the slave-trade, scores of ships continued to take slaves well into the 1870s.
