Campbell Notebooks
Organised and recorded by Diane Campbell, this collection of genealogical notes represents over 200 surnames found in Barbados. The notes vary in length from short paragraphs to several pages, and have been compiled from records from the Barbados Department of Archives; wills; administrative documents; and baptism, marriage, and burial certificates. It is now accessible digitally.
Heiress of the Bryden’s Conglomerate, Diane met and married Peter Fitzherbert Campbell, an avid historian and Assistant Colonial Secretary, in June 1944. Peter, after becoming a member in 1959, served on the Museum’s Council from 1969 to 1977 and edited its Journal with distinction from 1972 to 1990. Working alongside him, Diane collated this important collection which remains for researchers today.
