In this doctoral study, material culture, human remains, and oral histories were used to construct narratives on the lifeways of enslaved people on the Dutch Caribbean islands of Curaçao, St Eustatius, and St Maarten/St Martin. A thematic analysis of these qualitative data facilitated nuanced understandings and allowed comparisons to be made between the islands and datasets as well as between the study area and other regions of the Americas. Here, the oral historical transcripts are curated for future use by other researchers. The transcripts contain not only information on slavery, but also on the post-emancipation period, the modern political situation, and the legacy of slavery in modern society.
