Title Antigua, Slavery and Emancipation in the Records of a Sugar Plantation, 1689-1907
Description

This collection contains records pertaining to the Tudway family’s ownership of an Antiguan sugar plantation during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The papers cover the period from the early slave trade to the post-slavery economy. The combination of statistical ledgers and narrative correspondence provides a unique insight into the operation and eventual abolition of the slave trade in the West Indies. 

Note: This collection is accompanied by an online guide written by Dr Kenneth Morgan.
