WILLEMSTAD - The Curaçao National Archive has started a project to make the Curaçao slave registers public in collaboration with the University of Curaçao and Radbout University in Nijmegen.
The intention is that on 1 July, the day of the commemoration of slavery, the registers will be opened to the public in the form of a database.
It will describe the lives of 12 to 13 thousand slaves.
