      abstract = {The Caribbean Documents collection, 1699-1959, from the  University of Miami, contains correspondence and other  documents from Caribbean islands, such as Jamaica,  Barbados, Tobago, and Cuba. The correspondence offers  details about day-to-day life on plantations, such as the  conditions of harvests, credit and debt of the plantation,  and British abolition of slavery. The collection also  includes slave registers, but due to the fragile nature of  the aged documents, not all slave registers could be  digitized. Other documents include texts relating to the  African slave trade, as well as to the connection between  the American South and Cuba. Taken together, the documents  in this collection paint a picture of the institution of  slavery as it spanned centuries in the Caribbean.},
