The creation of an atlas on slavery in Santo Domingo to gather information on historical facts occurring within its French and Spanish territories, from the 16th century to the end of the 18th century, meets a need to further investigate the subject of slavery. Since 1994, a project designated ¨The Slave Route¨ has been established by UNESCO with the purpose of studying the causes of the transatlantic slave trade and its dynamics. Within this context, the Caribbean countries have been actively evaluating their respective slavery relics and, it is now necessary to assemble the results, especially in regard to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, which for political and idiosyncratic reasons pose many difficulties for cooperation. The atlas also extends the scope of the subject matter by showing the runaway slaves hidden areas which were the places where the maroons took refuge, fulfilling this way a wish to study the tracks left by the slaves themselves since the vast majority of the remains that have been studied so far pertain to the dominant class. By relating the runaway slaves hidden areas to the colonial official installations and showing their respective spatiotemporal developments on the maps contained in the atlas it will be possible to visualize the known and unknown communication networks that existed between both countries. The results will be available on an internet website. This will introduce a new basis to continue future research on slavery in the Caribbean.

创建圣多明各奴隶制地图集，收集 16 世纪至 18 世纪末在其法国和西班牙领土内发生的历史事实信息，满足了进一步调查奴隶制主题的需要。自1994年以来，联合国教科文组织设立了一个名为“奴隶之路”的项目，旨在研究跨大西洋奴隶贸易的原因及其动态。在此背景下，加勒比国家一直在积极评估各自的奴隶制遗迹，现在有必要汇总结果，特别是在多米尼加共和国和海地方面，由于政治和特殊原因，这给合作带来了许多困难。该地图集还扩展了主题范围，显示了逃亡奴隶的隐藏区域，即逃亡者避难的地方，以这种方式实现了研究奴隶本人留下的足迹的愿望，因为迄今为止研究的绝大多数遗迹都属于统治阶级。通过将逃亡奴隶的隐藏区域与殖民官方设施联系起来，并在地图集中包含的地图上显示它们各自的时空发展，将有可能将两国之间存在的已知和未知的通信网络可视化。结果将在互联网网站上公布。这将为未来继续研究加勒比地区的奴隶制奠定新的基础。
