 | | Plantation journals, account books, scrapbooks, and various types of financial and legal papers, chiefly documenting the operation of sugar plantations owned by members of the Shaffer family. |
 | | The plantation journals contain brief daily records of agricultural activities, business transactions, and personal events, 1825-1846 and 1876-1918 (with occasional gaps) at the Shaffer plantations, Crescent Farm, Magnolia, Anna, and Ardoyne, all in Terrebonne Parish, La. A diary of John Dalton Shaffer includes records of treatment of sick Italian workers in 1905. |
 | | The management of the Shaffer's sugar plantations is heavily documented, particularly Magnolia Plantation, for which John J. Shaffer kept annual plantation journals from 1876 to 1906. |
