Police Record, 1866-1878, records the date, name, color, charge, by whom arrested, and remarks. The remarks column generally records the disposition of the case including fines, discharge, orders to leave town, confiscation of illegal goods, whippings, and referral on to a higher court. This volume is arranged chronologically and there is no index. Following each year is occasionally a yearly report of the chief of police giving the amount of fines collected, the number of dog and goat medals sold, the amount collected for the sale of dog and goat medals, and the number and amount of tools on hand.

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.
