Description
The Jardine family collection consists primarily of personal and business correspondence
between 1893 and 1941. The majority of the folders contain family letters, correspondence
with friends, photographs, postcards, wedding invitations and poems. Also included are
financial reports and statements from the various business associations in which the Jardine
family took an interest.
Background
The Jardine family can be traced to mid-seventeenth century England. Certain documented
letters indicate that John Jardine I's ancestors, by 1900, had dispersed to four continents
in at least one hundred different cities.
