Manchester (Va.) Ordinances, 1874-1910

Richmond (Va.) Circuit Court.

Manchester (Va.) Ordinances consist of two volumes dealing with regulations concerning all aspects of city government. On March 20, 1874, the General Assembly granted Manchester a charter. Manchester had achieved independent city status. The first volume, 1874-1900, records the passage of ordinances related to this specific development. The volume begins with "an ordinance prescribing rules for the government of the Council"--one of the city's two governing bodies. The second volume, 1902-1910, contains an internal index (A-W) organized alphabetically by subject according to the order in which it appears in the volume. This volume begins with "an ordinance adopting a set of rules for both branches of the City Council of the City of Manchester." Further ordinances deal with issues of the city such as the revenue of the city, city debt, city property, health, departmental organizations, nuisances and offences. No ordinances were recorded for the year 1901.

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.
