Abstract:

All state governments had record keeping procedures that documented the claims of artisans who had provided goods and services. The Decorative Arts Guide to the Records of the Auditor of Public Accounts was compiled from vouchers and accounts for work performed by craftsmen working in Virginia during 1776-1840. The guide is an important resource on the lives and work of artisans working in the antebellum south.
