Description
Scope and content: Two account books containing records relating to store accounts, student accounts, and presumably some personal accounts. Both books contain accounts from 1848, 1854 (predominantly store accounts), and 1863 (predominantly students' accounts). The two books may have been used in conjunction with each other, with one serving as a daybook, and the other as a journal. Store accounts include name of individual, items purchased, and their debits and credits. Student accounts include name of student, tuition paid with date and amount. Personal accounts itemize expenses for items such as clothes, fabric, shoes, tobacco, charitable donations, and various other purchases. One book doubles as a scrapbook, containing advertisements, some in color; it also includes two sheets about the American Humane Education Society.
