| Abstract: | This large collection contains the family papers of the Scaligers, a prominent French family that eventually immigrated to Philadelphia in the mid-nineteenth century. The collection contains a wealth of information on the history and genealogy of this family. Some of the documents date to the fifteenth century. There is a notable amount of documents from the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. The portion of the collection from the earlier period is mostly composed of legal documents. The nineteenth century documents are mostly correspondence. All of the documents appear to be in French or Latin. Most of these documents are beyond the scope of the early American guide, but there are some documents from Santo Domingo that relate to the family’s interest in a slave plantation there.
