Etting collection [American Authors, Box 17, p. 21 Cobbett to Carey & Son, March 19, 1818] Subject The topic of the resource Autographs > 18th century Autographs > 19th century Autographs > Collections. Autographs collections. Description An account of the resource Frank M. Etting's connection with the Historical Society began in 1855 when he was elected recording secretary at age 22. After a decade in the army, 1861-1870, he returned to Philadelphia to begin a career of public service. He became director of the city's public schools, chairman of the committee to restore Independence Hall, and director of the Historical Department of the Centennial, 1876. The collection represents both Etting's personal interests and his professional concerns. It consists of three distinct groups of papers: an autograph collection containing materials of distinguished Americans and Europeans, 1558-1887; family papers, 1739-1847, which document the efforts of the Gratz, Frank, Etting, and Hart families and their associates in the settlement and development of trade in early Pennsylvania and contain some information on the domestic affairs of these families; and, finally, a group of papers on the public and professional career of Frank M. Etting. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Etting, Frank M.

Title A name given to the resource French West Indies collection [Box 1 Folder 7 & 8] Description An account of the resource Following in the footsteps of the Dutch and British, French settlers arrived in the Caribbean in the 1630s and established trading ports on the islands of Saint-Domingue (later Hispaniola), Martinique, and Guadeloupe. The settlers, with the aid of indentured servants and later African slaves, cultivated numerous crops that were eventually exported to France. The French West India Company, established in 1664, was a private trading company that oversaw the trading of coffee, sugar, cotton, and indigo between France and her islands in the French West Indies. Philippe Buache was most likely the official cartographer of her royal highness, the Queen of France. In this capacity, he explored the West Indies with the goal of creating physical and geographical depictions of the French colonies and their environs. The French West India Company papers span from 1712 to 1757 and were written primarily in French. They consist mainly of correspondence sent from merchants in the French West Indies and the geographical writings of cartographer Philippe Buache. The papers offer insight into the geography and trade of the West Indies in the 18th century; Buache also wrote about the geography of Australia and Antarctica. Most of the letters were apparently captured by an English privateer during the English-French War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748), and never reached their destination but were probably carried into some part of the English colonies in America Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Buache, Phillipe, 1700-1733, and others (Creator) Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Historical Society of Pennsylvania <a href="https://discover.hsp.org/Record/ead-0219">https://discover.hsp.org/Record/ead-0219</a> Language A language of the resource French Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 0219 Barker-Patrick https://remotereference.librarycompany.org/files/original/8f34b1cf01b38875a137ecb94e4acaf1.jpg eb06f7fa679810daafb25b0f967a9c38 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource George (ship) logbook [1805-1806] Subject The topic of the resource International Law and Arbitration > 19th century. International Slave Trade > 19th century. Trade > Transatlantic > 19th century. Description An account of the resource The entries in this logbook include discussion of supplies brought on board, where enslaved people -- referred to as "passengers" -- were picked up, trips to the "Negro market," and descriptions of the geographical attributes and inhabitants of Jamaica. There are detailed accounts of the seizure of the ship and its cargo by the British, and the ensuing trials in Spanish Town, in which the Solicitor General for the Crown argued that the enslaved people aboard the George were Spanish property. The judge evenually sided with the British, and the boat and the people aboard it were seized. Aside these journal entries are daily wind and course markings and weather condition reports, and rigging changes, of which the author appears to be in charge. The entry written on July 5, 1806, appears to be partly in code. The author of this volume is unknown. They interact with other ship officers, are involved in the ship's trials, and appear educated. Entries reveal their possession of a desk and papers, among other personal effects on the ship, suggesting important status. Comparison of this logbook to others of similar origin further suggest the author is likely a shipmaster or similar officer. The ship, George, was used in trafficking of enslaved people and was confiscated by the British at Kingston, Jamaica, in the early 1800s. This volume is a diary and log of the George on a voyage from Philadelphia to Cork, Ireland, and to St. Thomas (U. S. Virgin Islands).
