A quantitative datastore through the research and collation of existing databases on trade flows is available in English, French and Scandinavian Company studies. Many of these collected materials are at a more aggregative level. We have sought out new sources for this data, and have made considerable progress in creating new data sets. These include the following:

(1) English-The Order lists of the VOC (1720-1780),

(2) English-The Order lists of the English East India Company (1710-1753) have been sorted into a searchable database;

(3) Swedish-The auction catalogues of the Swedish East India Company (1733-1759) as source materials have been collected and scanned, a data inputting of a selection is also available.
