      <dc:description>Box 17 contains materials from the Rosewood Massacre Collection dating from 1905–1995 and is arranged by subject and record type. The folders primarily consist of legal case files, census and property records, and claimant documentation related to the Rosewood Claims process.

This box includes folders such as Case Notes and Other Information; Census Data and Property Records for Levy County (including 1921–1922 records and family name indexes); Court Case Files: Goins vs. Florida (Rosewood) Volumes I–II; and individual claimant files such as Hall, Thiddle; Hall, Shirley; and Hall, Shaundra.

Records found within these folders include, but are not limited to, census data and general listings of Rosewood families; legal documents including deeds, land grants, and notarized property records; court filings such as interrogatories, requests for production of documents, certificates of service, notices of hearings, and motions; correspondence between claimants, attorneys, and state officials; facsimile cover sheets; memoranda; handwritten notes; and legislative materials related to Florida House of Representatives proceedings, including witness lists, statements, and hearing notices.

Collectively, these materials document the legal, historical, and evidentiary foundations of the Rosewood claims, highlighting the use of genealogical records, property documentation, and court proceedings in establishing eligibility and supporting compensation cases.</dc:description>
