Below are links to two projects Nigel Sadler is involved in


Outside of his museum experience Nigel Sadler has spent the last decade researching the transatlantic slave trade. His main interest is the British suppression of the illegal African slave trade, 1807-1860.

Nigel Sadler utilised his knowledge and enthusiasm in 2007 during the 200th anniversary of the end of the British African Slave Trade and will continue to offer his knowledge, collections and travelling display. His research has appeared in the publications 'The Slave Trade' and 'Enfield and the Transatlantic Slave Trade'. His continued interest has seen him lecturing on the subject and utilising Sands of Time Consultancy's collection of first day covers and stamps commemorating the end of slavery in Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean.
