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 seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries. The papers cover the development of transatlantic slave trade to the period following the curtailment of plantation slavery througout the early to mid-1800s. The combination of statistical ledgers and personal correspondence provides key insights into the operation and eventual abolition of the slave trade throughot the West Indies. 

Note: This collection is accompanied by an online guide written by Professor Kenneth Morgan (Brunel University).
