Rebecca Onion (Slate) is “in search of historical data.” Inspired by the success of Slate‘s interactive graphic based on the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database, Onion seeks datasets that can be used to create “history presented using the interactive power of the web.”

Interested contributors should email Rebecca Onion for more information.
