This subseries consists of papers relating to the public and private business activities of the Macdonald family on Prince Edward Island, 1809 to 1932. The subseries consists primarily of correspondence and accounts with individuals and businesses, including family members, the Kings County Jail, and the construction of the Cardigan bridge; shipping information; agreements regarding Macdonald family partnerships; and statements on Panmure Island loans. There is also one letter to Archibald J. Macdonald from Charles Tupper regarding lobster packing (1893). There is also limited information relating to ships built by the Macdonald family and the lobster fishing and canning operation run by the family. There are also a number of undated miscellaneous business-related items found at the end of the series. The series has been arranged in chronological order.
