Processing information:

The first page states that "This book contains a regular account of the Academy of Liberty Hall from its origin. Taken from the Minutes of the Presbytery of Hanover and the Synod of Virginia...These Records were begun January 1793 By order of the Board of Trustees." The card catalog cards created by W. W. Pusey use the creation date of 1774 for this volume. However, given that those earliest minutes were transcribed into this volume in 1793, that is the date used for the finding aid as it accurately reflects the creation date of the volume.

Other descriptive data:

This volume underwent conservation treatment in 2025 with funding provided by the Class of 1966 W&L History Fund.
