Manuscripts

This collection contains 93 documents relating to the bureaucracy and administration of Chinese indentured servants in Cuba working on sugar and commercial crop plantations. The documents include certificates of nationality from the Chinese consulate in Havana, which contains information about individual laborer's age, place of origin, and provides their Hispanic name. Also included are new contracts for laborers who sought new indenture after the expiration of their initial contract, identification papers or cedulas, legal proceedings, death and burial certificates. Additionally, there is a log sheet from a slave depository, a temporary holding place for enslaved persons before they were purchased or transported, containing names and descriptions of recaptured indentured servants who had attempted to escape.

The collection contains J. Goldsborough Bruff's oversize revised version of his journal (c. 1853) which documents his journey across the American plains in 1849 by way of Lassen's Trail. Also included in the collection are 264 drawings of scenes from his overland journey, of various places he visited in California, and of his sea voyage to the Eastern United States via Mexico and Panama. Many of Bruff's drawings are in pencil, but thirty-eight of them were drawn with pastels and are in color.
