West Indian Labourers at the Panama Canal: The documentary heritage concerning West Indians and their experience in and contribution to the Panama Canal represents one of the most significant movements of voluntary migration to emerge during the post emancipation period after 1838.
These records document the movement of over 100,000 people to the Isthmus of Panama, the majority of whom never returned. This inscription is the common heritage of Netherlands, Brazil, Ghana, Guyana, Netherlands Antilles, Suriname, the UK and the USA
