Virginia Council Library, Williamsburg, Virginia, book boards, 1742

0.44 Cubic Feet 1 small oversize flatbox

This collection contains three book boards discovered in the Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library stacks in 2013. They were likely removed from volumes to be conserved or rebound by outside conservators before the University Library's conservation lab was established. Two board bear the gilt, red leather label "Virginia Council Office 1742" or the third contains an engraved bookplate of the Library of the Council of Virginia, which says "Virginia Council Chamber." These books were originally housed in the Capitol building in Williamsburg. This library was the most important public library in Colonial Virginia; the bookplates date from the mid-18th century. Relatively few books from this library are known to survive; although there are several in the Small Library. The volumes are most likely pre-1750 English legal works.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
