Walter Babbit Deed and Document Collection
Walter E. Babbitt 1918 - 1989
Collection ca. 1678 - 1895
 
Well-known Cape Cod historian and archivist, Walter Babbitt was also the owner of Walclif, an antiques shop in Brewster.
His great interest was Cape Cod History and his collection reflects that interest.
The papers relate to people, organizations, and events in Barnstable, Brewster and First Parish Brewster, Chatham, Dennis, Eastham, Falmouth, Harwich and North Parish Harwich, Nantucket, Orleans, Provincetown, Sandwich, Truro, Wellfleet, and Yarmouth. Included are church pew and real estate deeds, indentures, wills and other estate papers, maritime records, petitions, town warrants, church records, school records and genealogical data.
His genealogical and biographical notes are located at the Sturgis Library.
 
This valuable collection of primary sources was donated to the Nickerson Room by
Robert Babbitt in 1989.
