Key themes in the collection include migration and immigration, trade and commerce, and exploration and discovery. The archive also includes an interactive chronology, contextual essays, and image galleries. Axis Maps helped create interactive maps of Pacific exploratory, trading, and whaling voyages from primary sources.
