  • British Diplomacy from the Unification of Germany to the Spanish Civil War, 1863-1939
The primary focus of these records is upon the development of the rubber and cocoa plantation syndicate which owned plantations in Trinidad and Tobago during the latter 19th and early 20th century. As an absentee owner, Howard corresponded with the plantation manager on a regular basis and his so doing has resulted in an archive with a rare level of detail upon the running of such plantations. Other records show details of the Howard family homes between 1898 and 1939.
