The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case. Approximately $5 million from the settlement pool was designated for a special class of claimants, those who had been witnesses and named plaintiffs in the case. $10 million was earmarked for African-American former job applicants, and the bulk of the settlement, $90 million, went to incumbent African-American employees. Money left over when the settlement was completed, and after Shoneys final payment in 1998, was divided among five organizations: the United Negro College Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Inroads, a group that works to increase management opportunities for minorities.\nIn the aftermath of the case, Shoneys complied with the affirmative action plan and significantly increased its hiring of restaurant managers, dining room supervisors, and servers of color. In 1995, the company brought in a new management team which greatly improved its position financially, and in hiring, promotion, and business opportunities for minoritized communities.\nNote written by","Partially funded by a National Publications and Records Commission grant, the collection was processed by Chad Underwood from March 2005 to October 2006.","The Haynes v. Shoneys Papers documents the largest racial discrimination class-action suit against a private employer in the history of civil rights law. The collection has significant historical and research value for American legal history and civil rights scholars. Some topics include the admissibility of prior discrimination as evidence, adverse witnesses, affirmative action, allegations of recent discrimination, class certification, defendants contacts with plaintiffs' witnesses and clients, deceased claimants notes, destruction of evidence, jury selection, Raymond Danner's claim to fight race discrimination, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conferences covenant with Shoneys, in which the corporation promised that it would do business with minority-owned firms and target management jobs and franchise ownership opportunities for African-Americans. Among the materials included are all court pleadings and filings in the case, affidavits and declarations, challenges, consent decrees, correspondence, depositions, discovery documents, expert witness files, interrogatories, investigative files, newspaper and magazine articles, notebooks, orders, policies, press releases, questionnaires, reports, research materials, right-to-sue requests, settlement documents, shopper reports, surveys, visitation reports, and the deposition transcripts of over 150 witnesses, who document the history of the alleged discrimination of Shoneys, Inc and Ray Danner.","All requests for permission to quote, publish, broadcast or otherwise reproduce from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Associate Dean for Special Collections and Archives.

The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case. Approximately $5 million from the settlement pool was designated for a special class of claimants, those who had been witnesses and named plaintiffs in the case. $10 million was earmarked for African-American former job applicants, and the bulk of the settlement, $90 million, went to incumbent African-American employees. Money left over when the settlement was completed, and after Shoneys final payment in 1998, was divided among five organizations: the United Negro College Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Inroads, a group that works to increase management opportunities for minorities.\nIn the aftermath of the case, Shoneys complied with the affirmative action plan and significantly increased its hiring of restaurant managers, dining room supervisors, and servers of color. In 1995, the company brought in a new management team which greatly improved its position financially, and in hiring, promotion, and business opportunities for minoritized communities.\nNote written by\u003c/p\u003e"],"bioghist_heading_ssm":["Biographical or Historical Information"],"bioghist_tesim":["On April 4, 1989, Tallahassee (FL) attorney Tommy Warren and nine named plaintiffs, all former Shoneys and Captain Ds employees or job applicants, served Shoneys CEO, Ray Danner, and Shoneys, Inc. with a class-action suit alleging racial discrimination.

The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case. Approximately $5 million from the settlement pool was designated for a special class of claimants, those who had been witnesses and named plaintiffs in the case. $10 million was earmarked for African-American former job applicants, and the bulk of the settlement, $90 million, went to incumbent African-American employees. Money left over when the settlement was completed, and after Shoneys final payment in 1998, was divided among five organizations: the United Negro College Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Inroads, a group that works to increase management opportunities for minorities.\nIn the aftermath of the case, Shoneys complied with the affirmative action plan and significantly increased its hiring of restaurant managers, dining room supervisors, and servers of color. In 1995, the company brought in a new management team which greatly improved its position financially, and in hiring, promotion, and business opportunities for minoritized communities.\nNote written by\u003c/p\u003e"],"bioghist_heading_ssm":["Biographical or Historical Information"],"bioghist_tesim":["On April 4, 1989, Tallahassee (FL) attorney Tommy Warren and nine named plaintiffs, all former Shoneys and Captain Ds employees or job applicants, served Shoneys CEO, Ray Danner, and Shoneys, Inc. with a class-action suit alleging racial discrimination.

The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case.

Money left over when the settlement was completed, and after Shoneys final payment in 1998, was divided among five organizations: the United Negro College Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Inroads, a group that works to increase management opportunities for minorities.\nIn the aftermath of the case, Shoneys complied with the affirmative action plan and significantly increased its hiring of restaurant managers, dining room supervisors, and servers of color. In 1995, the company brought in a new management team which greatly improved its position financially, and in hiring, promotion, and business opportunities for minoritized communities.\nNote written by"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eHaynes et al. v.

The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case. Approximately $5 million from the settlement pool was designated for a special class of claimants, those who had been witnesses and named plaintiffs in the case. $10 million was earmarked for African-American former job applicants, and the bulk of the settlement, $90 million, went to incumbent African-American employees.

The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case. Approximately $5 million from the settlement pool was designated for a special class of claimants, those who had been witnesses and named plaintiffs in the case. $10 million was earmarked for African-American former job applicants, and the bulk of the settlement, $90 million, went to incumbent African-American employees. Money left over when the settlement was completed, and after Shoneys final payment in 1998, was divided among five organizations: the United Negro College Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Inroads, a group that works to increase management opportunities for minorities.\nIn the aftermath of the case, Shoneys complied with the affirmative action plan and significantly increased its hiring of restaurant managers, dining room supervisors, and servers of color. In 1995, the company brought in a new management team which greatly improved its position financially, and in hiring, promotion, and business opportunities for minoritized communities.\nNote written by","Partially funded by a National Publications and Records Commission grant, the collection was processed by Chad Underwood from March 2005 to October 2006.","The Haynes v.

The plaintiffs, represented by Warren and his co-counsel, civil rights attorney Barry Goldstein, sought more than half a billion dollars in back pay and punitive damages, in addition to a court-ordered affirmative action plan, to counteract claims of years of racially discriminatory company policy. Witnesses, such as Josephine Haynes, included tens of thousands of workers, former workers, and frustrated job applicants, who said they lost jobs, were denied jobs, or were not given opportunities at Shoneys for even the lowest-paying jobs because they were African-Americans. Other witnesses included lower level white managers, who testified that they were fired because they wouldnt follow company orders to reduce the number of African-Americans. Many said they were instructed to carry out a corporate strategy that was directed by the Companys founder and CEO, Ray Danner, not found in any Shoneys procedure manuals. During the course of the litigation, which lasted from 1989-1993, many allegations were made under oath, and entered into the court record that race discrimination at Shoneys was standard operating procedure and had existed during the entire time Ray Danner ran the company. Danner continually denied these allegations throughout the case.\nBy the time the case concluded in 1993, the total cost of the Shoneys settlement was $132.5 million, which was the plaintiffs final compromise figure and the largest ever in a racial discrimination case. In addition, Ray Danner personally contributed approximately $65 million to the settlement. This payment by an individual defendant was unprecedented in U.S. race discrimination cases. According to Steve Watkins The Black O, a book that documents the entire case, 28, 994 claims were submitted in the settlement. At Warren and Goldsteins insistence, that number was expanded beyond the scope of the class of discriminated individuals to include all of Shoneys divisions, except for the franchise stores, for the period from 1985 through November 3, 1992. Based on a complex formula approved by Judge Roger Vinson to determine the validity of those claims and the amount due each legitimate claimant, 20,909 people ultimately received money from the $105 million settlement pool. The plaintiffs attorneys spent nearly $2 million to notify these claimants about the settlement, an effort that the judge said was unmatched by any he had ever seen in a class-action case. Approximately $5 million from the settlement pool was designated for a special class of claimants, those who had been witnesses and named plaintiffs in the case. $10 million was earmarked for African-American former job applicants, and the bulk of the settlement, $90 million, went to incumbent African-American employees. Money left over when the settlement was completed, and after Shoneys final payment in 1998, was divided among five organizations: the United Negro College Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Inroads, a group that works to increase management opportunities for minorities.\nIn the aftermath of the case, Shoneys complied with the affirmative action plan and significantly increased its hiring of restaurant managers, dining room supervisors, and servers of color. In 1995, the company brought in a new management team which greatly improved its position financially, and in hiring, promotion, and business opportunities for minoritized communities.\nNote written by","Partially funded by a National Publications and Records Commission grant, the collection was processed by Chad Underwood from March 2005 to October 2006.","The Haynes v.

Barnett (1824-1903) on May 7, 1877, as the Bank of Jacksonville, in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a slow start, until 1881, when the state of Florida's depository accounts were moved to the Bank of Jacksonville.  As a result, all state warrants were stamped \"Payable at the Bank of Jacksonville\", which was good for both advertising and business (Ginzl, William B, 36).  In May 1888, the bank was renamed the National Bank of Jacksonville (Ginzl, William B, 37). In 1903, bank president and founder William B. Barnett died, and his son Bion took over as president, and other son, William D., became vice president.  William D.'s son, Harlow, took his grandfather's spot on the board of directors (Ginzl, William B. 42-45).","In 1908, the bank became Barnett National Bank, after receiving a national bank charter (Ginzl, Images 7-8). In 1930, the Barnett National Securities Corporation was created as a subsidiary of the bank, as a way for Barnett to expand outside of Jacksonville, starting with DeLand, Cocoa, Avon Park, and St. Augustine (Ginzl, Images 32).  In 1963, Guy W. Botts was elected bank preseident, and oversaw an \"aggresssive acquisition program that by 1979 had transformed the company into a $3.6 billion multi-bank powerhouse with 120 offices in counties contaning more than 85% of Florida's population\" (Ginzl, Images 8).  This included purchasing 34 banks, and obtaining new banking charters to open 19 more within a decade.  In 1969, the Barnett National Securities Corporation became Barnett Banks of Florida, Inc. (BBFI), and received an exclusive state-wide license to operate the BankAmericard (now Visa).  By the end of the year, over 1,000,000 Floridians had the card (Ginzl, Images 67-68).  On December 17, 1979, Barnett Bank was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ginzl, The Story, 377).","In 1979, Charlie Rice became bank president, a position he would hold for 18 years.  During this time, the bank formed a lobbying committee, Barnett People for Better Government, to lobby state and national officials for the passage of beneficial banking industry legislation.  In 1996, Barnett was able to successfully challenge a state ruling before the Supreme Court, that sought to prevent it from selling insurance (Ginzl, Images 113-114).  In 1990, Allen Lastinger became president and chief operating officer of the bank (Ginzl, The Story, 300).  In 1997, Barnett Bank was sold to NationsBank,  with the merger finalized on January 9, 1998 (Ginzl, Images 114). At the time of the sale, Barnett's annual payroll was $225,000,000 for 6,800 employees (Foley).  Later that same year, NationsBank merged with Bank America Corporation, becoming Bank of America (Wikipedia).","The Barnett Historic Preservation Foundation, Inc., was founded in December 1997, with the goal of preserving the historical legacy of Barnett Bank. The Foundation's mission was to \"collect records, photographs, and memorabilia and give these materials to the Florida State Archives in Tallahassee where they will become a valuable resource for future historians and researchers\" (Barnett Bank Alumni).  It is unclear when the Foundation was disbanded. ","Items were removed from frames and three ring binders, and placed in acid free folders.  Archival sleeves were used as needed.  Items with customers' personal identifying information were removed from the collection and disposed of per state records guidelines, or were redacted.","The Barnett Banks collection contains records by or about Barnett Banks. While the majority of the collection was created by Barnett Bank during the course of business, some of the materials are about or by people involved in the bank.  Researchers should note that these records are not comprehensive.  This collection has been divided into six series.","Series I. Administrative Records  contains records created by or for the executive management team during the course of daily business.  It has been divided into four subseries.   Subseries A. Meetings and Meeting  Minutes  contains meeting notices and meeting minutes.  Subseries B. Reports  contains annual reports and one-off reports.   Subseries C. Speeches and Presentations  contains speeches and presentations made by various executives.   Subseries D. Other  contains chronologies of the bank, Barnett Credit Services, Inc. records, resolutions, correspondence, and plans.","Series II. Marketing and Publication Records  contains material created by the marketing, publications, or related departments.  This series has been divided into three subseries.   Subseries A. Newsletters  contains the Barnett Banks newsletters: Banaba; BFN Action; Action; Barnett Action; Barnett Action Advantage; Barnett Economic Health; Barnett Point of Interest; and Point of Interest.  Subseries B. Advertisements  contains items such as broadsides, and promotional and branded items given away with the bank advertised on them.","Series III. Photographs  contains photographs of people and places.  It should be noted that a number of the photographs are reproductions.  This series has been divided into four subseries.   Subseries A. Personal Name  contains photographs that have been arranged by the name of the individual featured in them.  These are arranged alphabetically by last name.   Subseries B. Groups  contains photographs of groups of people.  Places   contains interior and exterior photographs of the banks.  Also included are images of window and lobby displays.  The images in box five are reproductions that were glued to a board for an exhibit in the Thomas G. Carpenter Library at one point.  The items were imaged in their frames before the frames were removed.   Subseries D. Other  contains a mounted reproduction of an annual report cover page.","Series IV. Awards and Honors  contains awards, honors, and commendations given to Barnett Banks.","Series V. Other  contains miscellaneous items such as examples of customer checks and account books; items from the bank's historic currency collection; notes from Allen Lastinger; and training tapes.","Series VI.

Barnett (1824-1903) on May 7, 1877, as the Bank of Jacksonville, in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a slow start, until 1881, when the state of Florida's depository accounts were moved to the Bank of Jacksonville.  As a result, all state warrants were stamped \"Payable at the Bank of Jacksonville\", which was good for both advertising and business (Ginzl, William B, 36).  In May 1888, the bank was renamed the National Bank of Jacksonville (Ginzl, William B, 37). In 1903, bank president and founder William B. Barnett died, and his son Bion took over as president, and other son, William D., became vice president.  William D.'s son, Harlow, took his grandfather's spot on the board of directors (Ginzl, William B. 42-45).","In 1908, the bank became Barnett National Bank, after receiving a national bank charter (Ginzl, Images 7-8). In 1930, the Barnett National Securities Corporation was created as a subsidiary of the bank, as a way for Barnett to expand outside of Jacksonville, starting with DeLand, Cocoa, Avon Park, and St. Augustine (Ginzl, Images 32).  In 1963, Guy W. Botts was elected bank preseident, and oversaw an \"aggresssive acquisition program that by 1979 had transformed the company into a $3.6 billion multi-bank powerhouse with 120 offices in counties contaning more than 85% of Florida's population\" (Ginzl, Images 8).  This included purchasing 34 banks, and obtaining new banking charters to open 19 more within a decade.  In 1969, the Barnett National Securities Corporation became Barnett Banks of Florida, Inc. (BBFI), and received an exclusive state-wide license to operate the BankAmericard (now Visa).  By the end of the year, over 1,000,000 Floridians had the card (Ginzl, Images 67-68).  On December 17, 1979, Barnett Bank was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (Ginzl, The Story, 377).","In 1979, Charlie Rice became bank president, a position he would hold for 18 years.  During this time, the bank formed a lobbying committee, Barnett People for Better Government, to lobby state and national officials for the passage of beneficial banking industry legislation.  In 1996, Barnett was able to successfully challenge a state ruling before the Supreme Court, that sought to prevent it from selling insurance (Ginzl, Images 113-114).  In 1990, Allen Lastinger became president and chief operating officer of the bank (Ginzl, The Story, 300).  In 1997, Barnett Bank was sold to NationsBank,  with the merger finalized on January 9, 1998 (Ginzl, Images 114). At the time of the sale, Barnett's annual payroll was $225,000,000 for 6,800 employees (Foley).  Later that same year, NationsBank merged with Bank America Corporation, becoming Bank of America (Wikipedia).","The Barnett Historic Preservation Foundation, Inc., was founded in December 1997, with the goal of preserving the historical legacy of Barnett Bank. The Foundation's mission was to \"collect records, photographs, and memorabilia and give these materials to the Florida State Archives in Tallahassee where they will become a valuable resource for future historians and researchers\" (Barnett Bank Alumni).  It is unclear when the Foundation was disbanded. ","Items were removed from frames and three ring binders, and placed in acid free folders.  Archival sleeves were used as needed.

Barnett (1824-1903) on May 7, 1877, as the Bank of Jacksonville, in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a slow start, until 1881, when the state of Florida's depository accounts were moved to the Bank of Jacksonville.  As a result, all state warrants were stamped \"Payable at the Bank of Jacksonville\", which was good for both advertising and business (Ginzl, William B, 36).  In May 1888, the bank was renamed the National Bank of Jacksonville (Ginzl, William B, 37). In 1903, bank president and founder William B. Barnett died, and his son Bion took over as president, and other son, William D., became vice president.

In 1930, the Barnett National Securities Corporation was created as a subsidiary of the bank, as a way for Barnett to expand outside of Jacksonville, starting with DeLand, Cocoa, Avon Park, and St. Augustine (Ginzl, Images 32).  In 1963, Guy W. Botts was elected bank preseident, and oversaw an \"aggresssive acquisition program that by 1979 had transformed the company into a $3.6 billion multi-bank powerhouse with 120 offices in counties contaning more than 85% of Florida's population\" (Ginzl, Images 8).  This included purchasing 34 banks, and obtaining new banking charters to open 19 more within a decade.  In 1969, the Barnett National Securities Corporation became Barnett Banks of Florida, Inc. (BBFI), and received an exclusive state-wide license to operate the BankAmericard (now Visa).  By the end of the year, over 1,000,000 Floridians had the card (Ginzl, Images 67-68).

In 1996, Barnett was able to successfully challenge a state ruling before the Supreme Court, that sought to prevent it from selling insurance (Ginzl, Images 113-114).  In 1990, Allen Lastinger became president and chief operating officer of the bank (Ginzl, The Story, 300).  In 1997, Barnett Bank was sold to NationsBank,  with the merger finalized on January 9, 1998 (Ginzl, Images 114).
