Papers consist of correspondence, estate papers, plantation journals, financial records, writings, diaries, and other items. Included are the papers of Gabriel Manigault (1758-1809), Peter Manigault (1731-1773), Charles Izard Manigault (1795-1874), and Gabriel Edward Manigault (1833-1899). Manigault family correspondence (1784-1796) concerns plantation affairs, family and social life, politics, and other matters. Correspondents include Margaret I. Manigault, Ralph Izard, and Gabriel Manigault (1758-1809). Other items include a receipt (1685) for passage money to South Carolina for the Giton family; a letter (in French, ca. 1690) of Judith Giton (later Judith Manigault) concerning her Huguenot family's voyage to South Carolina from France and their hardships; a letter (1727) to Pierre Manigault from Mr. Deliesseline; and a letter (1735) from Gabriel Manigault (1704-1781) to Nathaniel Broughton regarding the former's health. A bound volume contains "Extracts from a journal kept by Mrs. A.M., 1754-1781" transcribed and annotated by her grandson Gabriel Manigault (1758-1809); another volume was transcribed by Mabel Louise Webber. This diary contains entries concerning family matters, social life, the weather, and other topics. Bound volume (ca. 1820) contains a holograph translation by Margaret Izard Manigault of a French novel entitled "Leonia." This is a translation of "Leonie de Montbreuse" (1813) by Sophie Gay. Records (ca. 1920-1971) concerning the history, restoration, and preservation of the Joseph Manigault House of Charleston, S.C. (a National Historic Landmark) include articles, correspondence, clippings, pamphlets, photographs, and a guest register. Correspondents, mostly members of the Society for the Preservation of Old Dwellings (later the Preservation Society), include Susan Pringle Frost, Nellie (Mrs. Ernest) Pringle, Ernest H. Pringle, G.
