The Black Creek Agricultural Society Minutes were a typed copy of a transcript from an original manuscript the "Coker Manuscript Black Creek Agricultural Society 1860-1861"; the location of the original manuscript is unknown, but there is a typed manuscript volume of the "Black Creek Agricultural Society, Hartsville. Minute book, 1860-1861' at the South Caroliana Library of the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC.

The typed copy of the minutes was prepared in 1938 by Addie S. Vance for the WPA Statewide Historical Project no. 465-33-3-14, sponsored by the University of South Carolina and supervised by Flora B. Surles. The minutes discuss the interests of the farmers and events at their meetings, which were held at a different member's farm each time in order to inspect farming practices and the care of livestock. After the inspection a talk was presented on a farming subject. Topics included soil preparation; the use of Peruvian guano, manure and other fertilizers and their effects on crops such as cotton; farm implements, such as the Peeler plow; improved housing for slaves; and the management of slaves.
