Two sites dealing with Slavery
The International Slavery Museum explores both the historical and
contemporary aspects of slavery, addressing the many legacies of the
slave trade and telling stories of bravery and rebellion amongst the
enslaved people. These are stories which have been largely untold. (From the Website)
And the website for the 2007 commemoration in Hull, England, of the 200th
anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in England. William
Wilberforce, from Hull, introduced the "parliamentary bill to end the
slave trade which was passed in the House of Commons in 1807 and
throughout the British Empire in 1833." Includes brief background about
Wilberforce, the slave trade between 1776 and 1807, and current human
trafficking and human rights concerns.

E-journal of international history
From the Journal's website:
The eJIH was launched in 2000 with the aim of encouraging research in
international history. The eJIH embraces all aspects of the history of
relations between states and societies. The journal aims to promote an
understanding of the breadth, depth and policy relevance of
international history by examining how the politics, societies,
economies and traditions of countries have shaped and influenced
international relations since circa 1500.
At January 2009 there are 9 issues online, and the journal appears to
have run between 2000 and 2005. Each issue contains a single but
substantial 10,000-word academic paper, with the focus on British
history in international context.
