Nickels and McConnell Ledger and Daybook, 1847-1850, consist of a ledger, 1847-1850 and daybook, 1848-1849. The ledger records the accounts of individual customers. Each account lists transactions in chronological order. Information found in each entry includes date of transaction, style of transaction, and amount owed or paid. Most transactions contain the generic words "merchandise" or "sundry." The daybook records records transactions as they occurred on a daily basis at a mercantile business in Nickelsville, Virginia. Information found in each entry includes date of transaction, name of customer, items purchased, quantity of items purchased, form of payment, amount owed, and amount paid. Items sold include dry-goods, tools, food, umbrellas, tobacco, coffee, and clothing. A portion of the volume was used as a mathematics textbook.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
