Description and Holding Information
St.Domingue Collection D. Manuscripts relating to French Colonies; in 16 vols
The University of Florida’s Saint Domingue Collection; the Manuscripts: 16 online volumes corresponding to the 16 reels of microfilm from the
University Library’s collection from which manuscripts were extracted and digitized. The “Saint Domingue Collection,” an assemblage of 20 reels of microfilm
containing 186 print titles and several hundred manuscripts and maps illustrative of the colonial era in the French Colony of Saint-Domingue, was
assembled by University of Florida librarians in the mid-1950s. Most of the documents came from the French National or military archives, although a small
portion of the manuscripts were mined from the University’s own collections. The University Library generously loaned the film to LLMC for
digitization to enrich its Haiti Legal Patrimony Collection, and also bore half the cost of the digitization. Unfortunately, all of these historical gems have
long languished in obscurity in their film format, and would have met much the same fate had that same formatting been transferred directly online.
Therefore, while the provenance of each separate item is carefully acknowledged, the images from the microfilm collection have been distributed into
smaller units to make them more discoverable and citaeable as follows: 1.) Print items: All of the print items have been reassembled in the following
pattern: A.) 69 print items are offered elsewhere on this site as standalone titles; B.) 80 print items were assembled in a composite title covering
Acts in St.Domingue; C.) 27 print items were assembled in a composite title Fr. Acts Re. St.Domingue; D.) 19 print items were assembled in a
composite title Fr. Acts Re. all Fr. Colonies. 2.) Manuscript items: The hundreds of manuscripts that were extracted from those 16 reels of the larger
microfilm collection which happened to contain manuscripts have been grouped into the present composite title of 16 online volumes entitled Saint
Domingue Collection, The Manuscripts. All items appear within the online volumes in the exact order in which they occur on the film, along with images of
any film guides that may have been provided. Finally, an overall pagination scheme has been inserted into the left hand top corner of each image, thus
providing each item with a permanent numerical location that will permit precise and permanent future citation.
