Scope and Contents
Van Beck Hall, a professor of history at the University of Pittsburgh, collected these records to support his research for a forthcoming book
The Political Economy of Virginia, 1790-1830 [as of October 2019]. The majority of the records are on 57 reels of microfilm and contain land tax and personal property tax records for southeastern and central Virginia counties (1771-1861). Examples of counties include Caroline, Fairfax, Gloucester, Hanover, Prince George, and Stafford, among others. Miscellaneous records on 5 reels of microfilm include a report from the Virginia Library Board (1916-1917), lists of state and county officials (1780-1865), records of arms delivered (1792-1798), tobacco inspections (1795-1813), insurance declarations (1796-1821), and a doctoral dissertation about Maine's separation from Massachusetts (1966). Additionally, 3 reels of microfilm contain the Journal of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Virginia (1776-1832) and 8 reels of microfilm contain the Journal of the House of Delegates of the Commonwealth of Virginia (1790-1831).
