Anti-Slavery
Reporter,
1824-1994
ISBN 1 897955 39 1
The Anti-Slavery Reporter was founded in 1825 by Zachary Macaulay
(1768-1838), who became the magazine’s first editor. He had first-hand
knowledge of slavery as, at one time, he was the manager of a slave
plantation in Jamaica.
Under Macaulay and its subsequent editors, the Anti-Slavery Reporter
campaigned vigorously for the abolition of slavery throughout
the world.
The Reporter includes detailed accounts of abolitionist activities;
reports of the parliamentary procedures which ultimately led to the
abolition of slavery in Britain and its colonies; details of the political
activities of pro and anti-slavery supporters around the world; and
the annual reports of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society,
(later named the Anti-Slavery Society, now known as Anti-Slavery).
Available on 18 reels of 35mm silver microfilm

Anti-Slavery International Reports, Parts 1 and 2
Anti-Slavery
International Part 1
Annual Reports, Submissions to UNCHR, Ephemera and Publications
of Anti-Slavery International, 1980-2000
13 reels of 35mm silver-halide positive microfilm
- Anti-Slavery publications, 1980-2000. Many of these are now out
of print and are typical of a grey literature that libraries generally
struggle to locate.
- Submissions to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR)
and other related bodies, 1965-2000. These have never before been
published.
- Ephemera produced by Anti-Slavery, ranging from briefing notes
to posters, 1980-2000.
- Annual Reports, 1883-2000
Anti-Slavery
International Part 2:
Publications and Reports of Anti-Slavery International and predecesors,
1880-1979
5 reels of 35mm silver-halide positive microfilm plus guide
Part 2 provides a broader context for the current debate on slavery
by looking at the issues that have been discussed over the past
one hundred years. The connections between Empire and Slavery are
made abundantly clear with many case studies of human rights abuses
in the outposts of European empires from Algeria to the Congo and
Indonesia to
Hong Kong.
It includes publications of Anti-Slavery, its predecessors and
related groups, 1880-1979. This is a period that has not received
much attention until recently, as slavery debates have often focused
on the period 1780-1867. The Anti-Slavery Reporter and pamphlets
held by the Society from 1767 to 1867 are not included, as these
have already been made available. However, in Part 2 we now make
available an important collection of rare printed pamphlets and
reports - about 250 in number - not previously made available.
