Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
This collection consists mostly of single items that were a part of the Townsend Room Collections that were purchased or donated. Some items still have the purchase information attached, and this was left in the enclosure. The subjects included in the collection include slavery, politics, business affairs, legal issues, family and genealogy. Because of the varied nature of the materials they were divided by type and inventoried individually.
