The records comprise deeds and legal, administrative and financial papers relating to the Castle Wemyss Estate, Jamaica, 1802-1845, belonging (during the period covered by the papers) successively to Gilbert Mathison, Simon Halliday and Rev Walter Stevenson Halliday. The deeds and legal papers record the ownership of the estate and financial claims upon it by other parties, as well as compensation claims under the Abolition Act. They include the title deeds to the estate 1802-1845; together with correspondence and other papers concerning financial claims upon it (particularly an annuity payable to Catherine Mathison, widow of Gilbert) 1830-1845, compensation payable under the Abolition Act 1834-1835, and the fate of the estate in 1843-1845 when it was no longer viable financially.
The administrative and financial papers illustrate the management of a West Indian sugar estate by attorneys on behalf of absentee landlords, and the process of shipping the sugar and rum produced back to London for sale by a firm of merchants. A fairly complete series of correspondence between Simon Halliday and his attorneys and merchants survives for the period 1823-1828, giving many details of the practical problems of managing a sugar estate and of ensuring an adequate performance by the attorneys. There are many reports on the progress of crops, as well as references to maintenance work required, the need for new cattle (a continuing problem on the Castle Wemyss estate) and the work and health of the slaves. There is further detailed information on the slaves in a series of returns; in addition there are lists of them in the title deeds to the estate after 1807 (following the abolition of the slave trade). There are references to specific events involving the slaves in the correspondence and/or the returns: for example, the case of Catalina alias Susannah Mathison who induced an abortion by taking Vervain and Contrayerva in 1824; and allegations of mistreatment of the slaves by one of the overseers, in 1827.
The correspondence of 1823-1828 also includes letters between Halliday and the firms of merchants he used in London to sell his produce. The state of the sugar and rum markets are regularly discussed, and both attorneys and merchants report on the despatch and receipt of shipments of sugar and rum, on which the successful running of the estate depended. There is one instance of a ship being wrecked and part of the cargo lost.There are also financial accounts, both of the attorneys and of the merchants, which illustrate the returns and financial problems of the estate.

The records chart the transfer of property within the family through the generations, beginning with a copy of the manorial court roll showing the acquisition of a cottage in Pinner Street, Harrow, by Mary Bodymaid {sic} in 1699 {ACC/0945/001}. In 1710 William Bodymead acquired cottages on Clay Hill, in the Manor of Bushey; which by his will of 1738 were divided between his three youngest sons {ACC/0945/003}. The rest of the estate passed to William's widow and to his eldest son, also called William. This William Bodimead was contemplating a partnership with his eldest John in 1767, which gave rise to the 'Rest Book or Inventory' {ACC/0945/014}, which is quite extensively detailed. Also worth noting is the inventory from 1789, covering the goods and chattels of the deceased Ann Bodymeade, who was presumably the widow and mother of the aforementioned William and John. The latest records are two letters from 1966 from Philip Blackwell to Miss A.M. Pollard (reference librarian in the London Borough of Harrow at that time) offering background on these papers which had belonged to his grandfather.

The collection comprises the archives of the Cusichaca Trust. The Trust undertook three main projects, as described above, which are represented in subfonds 2, 3, and 4. The materials in other subfonds mostly relate to these three projects, but are in a specific format (such as photographs) or are a distinct type of record (such as Trust Governance). There are further details as to how these sections relate to each other in the arrangement note section. Overall, the archive includes seven subfonds (CUS/1-7), and one additional series (CUS/8), which includes:

• CUS/1: Trust governance and directors (Ann Kendall) materials, relates to organisational management, administration, and the top-level organisation of the trust. This includes Ann Kendall's notebooks and correspondence.
• CUS/2: Cusichaca project materials (c.1977-1988), relates to the first project the Trust undertook. This was largely archaeological, and relates heavily to excavation, finds, analysis, reconnaissance, outreach, and project administration.
• CUS/3: Patacancha project materials (c.1987-1997), relates to the second major project undertaken by the Trust. During this period, the goals of the Trust's work became increasingly rural developmental, and this section of the archive includes specialist research relating to agriculture, environmental development, canal and terrace restoration. There are also papers relating to excavation work, reconnaissance, outreach, and project administration.
• CUS/4: Ayacucho and Apurimac project materials (c.1997-2013), relates to the last major project undertaken by the Trust. This was largely a rural development and agricultural project, aimed at reviving pre-Hispanic systems. These subfonds include materials relating specifically to archaeology, rural development, project finances, and outreach.
• CUS/5: Plans and maps relate to a variety of archaeological and excavation projects. Many of the plans and maps relate specifically to certain sites and locations such as Huillca Raccay and Patallacta. Some of the maps and plans relate to specific buildings. These materials relate heavily to both the Cusichaca and Patacancha projects respectively.
• CUS/6: Photographic materials relate to various people, locations, activities, and projects. Comprised of various formats, including slides, prints, and negatives. Some of the photographs are in large format. These materials relate strongly to all three major projects.
• CUS/7: Outreach and publicity materials produced to publicise and broadcast the Cusichaca Trust's work and achievements. These include posters, articles, interviews, and materials from the press. These materials relate strongly to all three major projects.
• CUS/8: Ann Kendall's personal, and additional administrative, materials. These relate specifically to the project founder and director and include a combination of personal and professional materials.

Collectively the materials form a combined study of a specific region in the South-Central Andes over several decades. The archaeology, archaeobotany and ethnohistorical work focused on human occupation of the area from the late first millennium BC, through Inca expansion and into the Spanish Colonial period. Furthermore, the archaeological record was placed in its geographical and cultural context through archaeological reconnaissance. The Trust's exploratory work established the existence of many previously undocumented archaeological sites. The collection includes unpublished specialist reports that have rarely been revisited since original creation.

The Trust's ethnographic and much of its environmental work examined the domestic and economic lives of local farming families in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The surviving papers of the Cusichaca Trust also offer a record of the administrative effort involved in sustaining major projects in archaeology, rural development and other disciplines over a 40-year period. They reveal the changing aims and practices of diverse sub-projects, as techniques and approaches within each discipline were shaped by the interests and requirements of academic, governmental and private sponsors.

The collection includes a variety of media types including paper records, photographic materials, maps, plans, and digital media. The types of media, and use of technology evolved as the project progressed. The Cusichaca project materials are exclusively analogue, while the Patacancha and Ayacucho and Apurimac papers are increasingly digital. The archive also chronicles the Trust's changing record keeping practices, and document management systems.

La colección comprende los archivos del Trust Cusichaca. El Trust emprendió tres proyectos principales, como se describió anteriormente, que están representados en los subfondos 2, 3 y 4. Los materiales en otros subfondos se relacionan principalmente con estos tres proyectos, pero están en un formato específico (como fotografías) o son distintos tipos de registro (como Trust Governance). Hay más detalles sobre cómo estas secciones se relacionan entre sí en la sección de nota de disposición. En general, el archivo incluye siete subfondos (CUS / 1-7) y una serie adicional (CUS / 8), que incluye:

• CUS/1: Materiales de gobierno y directores de Trust (Ann Kendall): se relacionan con la gestión organizacional, la administración y la organización de alto nivel del Trust. Estos incluyen los cuadernos y correspondencia de Ann Kendall.

Colectivamente, los materiales forman un estudio combinado de una región específica en la zona centro-sur de los Andes durante varias décadas. El trabajo de arqueología, arqueobotánica y etnohistoria se centró en la ocupación humana de la zona desde finales del primer milenio antes de Cristo, a través de la expansión Inca y en el período colonial español. Además, el registro arqueológico se situóen su contexto geográfico y cultural a través del reconocimiento arqueológico. El trabajo exploratorio del Trust estableció la existencia de muchos yacimientosarqueológicos previamente indocumentados. La colección incluye informes especializados no publicados que apenas han sido utilizados por los investigadores desde sucreación original.

Gran parte del trabajo ambiental y etnográfico del Trust se centró en examinar la vida doméstica y económica de las familias agrícolas locales a fines de los años setenta y principios de los ochenta. Los documentos que se han preservado también proporcionan una perspectiva sobre el esfuerzo administrativo que supuso el mantenimiento de grandes proyectos en arqueología, desarrollo rural y otras disciplinas durante un período de 40 años. Revelan los objetivos y prácticas cambiantes de diversos subproyectos, ya que las técnicas y enfoques dentro de cada disciplina se vieron influidos por los intereses y requisitos de patrocinadores académicos, gubernamentales y privados.

La colección incluye una variedad de tipos de soportes documentales, incluidos documentos en papel, materiales fotográficos, mapas, planos y documentos digitales. La tipología documental y el uso de la tecnología evolucionaron a medida que avanzaba el proyecto. Los materiales del proyecto Cusichaca son exclusivamente analógos, mientras que los documentos Patacancha y Ayacucho y Apurimac son cada vez más digitales. El archivo también muestra las prácticas cambiantes de mantenimiento y administración de los sistemas de documental del Trust.
