These envelopes are labeled with year and type of record, and papers within the envelopes are grouped by case with an attached card identifying the record. The papers in the remainder of the boxes are minimally processed, and are generally in their original envelopes, wrappers, or folders. These boxes (18-150) are arranged broadly by type of record, but records within these types are not generally arranged in a particular order.","Microfilm reels HAM 30-34 were originally HAM 30A, 31B, 32C, 33D, and 34 E. The letters were removed as part of the 2026 reprocessing project to improve clarity.","All original material is stored offsite; please make an appointment prior to visiting.","This collection was originally two A\u0026M collections, A\u0026M 0051 and A\u0026M 0282. Both were gifts of the Hampshire County Court, the first made in 1937 and the second in 1951. As part of the 2026 reprocessing project, these collections have been merged. Boxes 1-17 are from the original accession, and boxes 18-149 (which were renumbered from boxes 1-132) and the record books were the second accession (A\u0026M 0282). Additionally, box 150 was added to store the Department of Public Assistance papers which had previously been wrapped in paper.","If assistance is needed to match old box numbers to the updated ones, a crosswalk is available upon request.","A\u0026M 0936, Hampshire County Deeds","A\u0026M 1154, Hampshire County Deeds","A\u0026M 4467, Land Warrant Ledger for the Community of Frankfort in Hampshire County, Virginia","A\u0026M 1052, Society of Ex-Confederates in Hampshire County","County court and public records consisting primarily of case papers, financial records, and private records of local businesses. There are also some records of Hampshire County's department of the West Virginia Relief Administration, estate settlements, and elections.","This collection consists of two series, microfilm and original materials. Most of the material exists either as microfilm or the original material has been kept.","The microfilm series is roughly half court record papers and half record books of private businesses, organizations, and individuals. There are a large number of record books from E.H. Zepp's General Merchandise, as well as from a tannery, a grist mill, and the Methodist Episcopal Church. Other record books include land and personal property records.","Series 2 consists of 150 boxes, one wrapped package of county court papers, primarily case papers and public records; as well as various public and private record books (one box, and two unboxed ledgers). The case papers in boxes 1-17 have been indexed alphabetically, chronologically, and by subject. This card index can be found on microfilm reels HAM 30-34, or upon request. Case papers include civil and criminal cases at the County, Circuit, and State level. The case papers are still in their original wrappers, which include basic information on the case, including names, dates, and charges, but not much more. There is generally more information for county level cases than other levels. Public records are primarily financial records including taxes, settlements, and sales, but there are also some birth, marriage, and death records, estates, deeds, and election records. There are also several boxes of records of the Hampshire County Department of the West Virginia Relief Administration, which include work injury compensation reports (boxes 75-77); public assistance checks (boxes 80-81); and administrative financial records (box 150). The work injury compensation reports include basic information on the circumstances of the injury, the type of work, pay, and general demographic information (name, age, race, marital status, etc.). These materials are restricted for general use in compliance with HIPAA standards, but researchers may request access to use the records for broad, summary analysis.","Some highlights for this series include bills for the board (1833, env. 48); a 1736 bond from Jonathan Seaman to John Woodson for the amount of forty pounds in either silver or gold Pennsylvania money (env. 2); an order for militia to appear on parade (18--, env. 53); and accounts of the jailor, including for keeping enslaved persons in jail (1830, env. 46 and 1849, env. 62).","This series is roughly half court record papers and half record books of private businesses, organizations, and individuals.

These envelopes are labeled with year and type of record, and papers within the envelopes are grouped by case with an attached card identifying the record. The papers in the remainder of the boxes are minimally processed, and are generally in their original envelopes, wrappers, or folders. These boxes (18-150) are arranged broadly by type of record, but records within these types are not generally arranged in a particular order.","Microfilm reels HAM 30-34 were originally HAM 30A, 31B, 32C, 33D, and 34 E. The letters were removed as part of the 2026 reprocessing project to improve clarity.","All original material is stored offsite; please make an appointment prior to visiting.","This collection was originally two A\u0026M collections, A\u0026M 0051 and A\u0026M 0282. Both were gifts of the Hampshire County Court, the first made in 1937 and the second in 1951. As part of the 2026 reprocessing project, these collections have been merged. Boxes 1-17 are from the original accession, and boxes 18-149 (which were renumbered from boxes 1-132) and the record books were the second accession (A\u0026M 0282). Additionally, box 150 was added to store the Department of Public Assistance papers which had previously been wrapped in paper.","If assistance is needed to match old box numbers to the updated ones, a crosswalk is available upon request.","A\u0026M 0936, Hampshire County Deeds","A\u0026M 1154, Hampshire County Deeds","A\u0026M 4467, Land Warrant Ledger for the Community of Frankfort in Hampshire County, Virginia","A\u0026M 1052, Society of Ex-Confederates in Hampshire County","County court and public records consisting primarily of case papers, financial records, and private records of local businesses. There are also some records of Hampshire County's department of the West Virginia Relief Administration, estate settlements, and elections.","This collection consists of two series, microfilm and original materials. Most of the material exists either as microfilm or the original material has been kept.","The microfilm series is roughly half court record papers and half record books of private businesses, organizations, and individuals. There are a large number of record books from E.H. Zepp's General Merchandise, as well as from a tannery, a grist mill, and the Methodist Episcopal Church. Other record books include land and personal property records.","Series 2 consists of 150 boxes, one wrapped package of county court papers, primarily case papers and public records; as well as various public and private record books (one box, and two unboxed ledgers). The case papers in boxes 1-17 have been indexed alphabetically, chronologically, and by subject. This card index can be found on microfilm reels HAM 30-34, or upon request. Case papers include civil and criminal cases at the County, Circuit, and State level. The case papers are still in their original wrappers, which include basic information on the case, including names, dates, and charges, but not much more. There is generally more information for county level cases than other levels. Public records are primarily financial records including taxes, settlements, and sales, but there are also some birth, marriage, and death records, estates, deeds, and election records. There are also several boxes of records of the Hampshire County Department of the West Virginia Relief Administration, which include work injury compensation reports (boxes 75-77); public assistance checks (boxes 80-81); and administrative financial records (box 150). The work injury compensation reports include basic information on the circumstances of the injury, the type of work, pay, and general demographic information (name, age, race, marital status, etc.). These materials are restricted for general use in compliance with HIPAA standards, but researchers may request access to use the records for broad, summary analysis.","Some highlights for this series include bills for the board (1833, env. 48); a 1736 bond from Jonathan Seaman to John Woodson for the amount of forty pounds in either silver or gold Pennsylvania money (env. 2); an order for militia to appear on parade (18--, env. 53); and accounts of the jailor, including for keeping enslaved persons in jail (1830, env. 46 and 1849, env. 62).","This series is roughly half court record papers and half record books of private businesses, organizations, and individuals.
