The Butler-Laing Family Papers come from three generations of an American family from
the northeast. These Papers chiefly shed light on the daily lives of women of the
Butler Family. The Papers extend from 1818 to 1892. The bulk, from 1865 through 1871,
encompasses Mrs. Laing's detailed diaries and letters from Rome and all of her grown
daughter Mary's letters to her. Also included in the collection are a shipboard diary
of Mrs. Laing's voyage to and from China in 1836-1837 and a diary of her husband on
one of his many voyages, 1846-1847.
