This article introduces the AveTransRisk database, which contains the data present in the documents produced as part of a General Average (GA) case. This documentation is an important quantitative source for the early modern period. The mutualistic nature of GA makes this data particularly useful for economic historians looking for stable and reliable historical commodity prices and costs, because all parties involved in GAs were active participants in the business venture so “over-” or “under-” estimation of commodity values and expenses was unlikely
