The business and professional papers concern the operation of Peytavin's plantation and law practice from the 1880s to the 1930s. Papers prior to 1842 are derived principally from litigations involving Peytavin family members. Letterpress copybooks, ledgers, and time books record business correspondence and transactions. The personal papers include correspondence, manuscript copies of poems, songs, speeches, historical sketches, and other materials. Notebooks, scrapbooks of theatrical productions and historical events, newspaper clippings, maps, photograph albums, invitations, certificates, diplomas, printed items, and music books are included. The theater, opera, and concert stage of New Orleans are fairly well represented by copies of programs and other ephemera.
