RESEARCH TRIP TO UNITED STATES REPOSITORIES 2002 - 2003
(3) Appendix II: Institutions Examined on the Internet ~ A Partial List:
(A) Institutions listed in Appendix I re-examined for new Sources
(4) Appendix III ~ Krause House Info-Research Solutions Fee Structure
Krause House Info-Research Solutions will be in the United States through the fall and winter of 2002-2003 researching, among other places, a number of U.S. Repositories which hold American colonial and Public Record Office/British Library (London) research material in original and reproduced format which the Fortress of Louisbourg would undoubtedly find useful for its interpretative and research programmes. Here I am speaking not of those sources which researchers have already examined between 1961 and the present day (see below: Appendix I), but rather of those sources which an extensive Internet search of institutional holdings (see below: Appendix II) clearly suggest promising new findings in areas not contemplated in the mandate of earlier researchers.
Krause House thus proposes to focus on the 18th-century documentation for the Fortress of Louisbourg in the following three broad subject areas:
There are a number of sites of good potential. They are:
Four of these institutions will be visited to fulfill the mandate of (1&2). They are:
- 18th-century business, shipping, sawmill, and building construction records will be examined.
- 18th-century newspaper, diary, account books and merchant records will be examined.
- 18th-century business, maritime, colonial craftsmen, Custom House and shipping records will examined..
- 18th-century French piquet and charpente construction techniques will be researched.
Krause House proposes to spend a minimum of 40 hours (5 working days) at each site for a total of 160 hours (4 locations x 40 hours each) researching materials of particular use to the Fortress of Louisbourg.

Highlights of Some of the Promising Sources: The Collection
Manuscripts Although the Fortress has collected only map materials from this repository to date, it should be aware that this repository holds more than 3.5 million manuscripts ranging from the ninth to the twentieth century, some of which is described in the following two Guides: (1) American Historical Manuscripts (2 million manuscripts) in the Huntington Library (2) Guide to British Historical Manuscripts (500,000 manuscripts) in the Huntington Library. Unfortunately, neither of these guides is itemized in the on-line catalogue since the Huntington sells them, presumably as a fund raising project.

CONNECTICUT
Connecticut Historical Society
Highlights of Some of the Promising Sources: The Collection Business and related papers overlooked during the original search include:
(1) The Jonathan Trumbull, Sr. Papers Over the decades, Trumbull developed an extensive trading business. Unlike most colonial traders, who went through middle men in New York and Boston, he established direct connexions with merchants in Great Britain. By the 1760s, Trumbull's business was doing very well indeed. But around 1766, he began to suffer irreparable losses in trade and by 1769 he was virtually bankrupt and retired from business
(2) Industrial History The industrial tradition and Yankee ingenuity of Connecticut is well represented in the library collections. These collections include over 2,000 account books from various enterprises, such as general stores or shoemakers. Hundreds of printed trade catalogues record manufactured items such as fine silver plate from the Meriden Brittania Company, machine tools, printing presses, and wooden display type.
(3) Local History Connecticut citizens have long been interested in the history of the towns and locales where they reside. Many have left written records of their interest, both published and manuscript. (Although the CHS's collection of Connecticut local histories is its largest, it also holds numerous local histories from the other New England states.)

In the field of British history the Newberry Library is unusually rich, covering the Middle Ages through World War I.
Serial sets of printed primary sources are a major strength of the British history collection. These types of sources would include
Publications of official bodies, such as Record Commissions, PRO and Historical Manuscript Commission
As a collection of general Americana, the Newberry Library's Edward E. Ayer Collection is one of the best in the country and in the words of a former Yale University Library Curator, Ayer is "perhaps the finest gathering of materials on American Indians in the world."

Business Manuscripts Collection The Historical Collections Department has approximately 1,400 sets of original business records in a range of formats extending back to the days of the Medici family, ca. 1400.

The extensive manuscript holdings are the result. Manuscripts cover the broadest range of business activities, including: agricultural, manufacturing, construction, publishing, and recreation industries; transportation, communication, and commodity utilities; marketing, financial, professional, and personal services; and business affairs of private, public, and governmental organizations.
Boston merchants Melatiah Bourne, Samuel Sturgis, and Nathaniel Holmes.

Intertwined both professionally and personally, the three merchants contributed to the growth of domestic trade during the colonial period. Bulk of collection concerns Melatiah Bourne with a small amount of material for his father, Silvanus, and son, also named Silvanus, as well as Timothy Bourne (1703-1780) and William Bourne (1723-1770). Topics represented in Bourne record series are money lending, domestic and foreign trade, whaling, and estate settlement.

Harbottle Dorr Collection of Annotated Massachusetts Newspapers, 1765-1776 On January 7, 1765, in the middle of the Stamp Act controversy, Boston shopkeeper Harbottle Dorr took the current issue of the Boston Evening-Post and commented on its contents in the margins. Every week thereafter, he collected one or both of the Evening-Post or the Boston Gazette, (sometimes adding a Boston Post-Boy & Advertiser ) and continued expressing himself in the margins on the events, referring backward and forward in a maze of cross-references to other documents and stories relevant to the events reported in the news.
The final result 12 years later was an astonishing archive--3,280 pages of annotated newspapers, plus the appended documents and Dorr's own indexes to the four volumes he compiled. This entire unbroken run of annotated Boston newspapers will not only allow students of American history a unique look at the pre-Revolutionary era in New England, but will also provide insight into the thinking of citizen Dorr on the controversies and topics of the times.

Newport Historical Society
Highlights of Some of the Promising Sources: The Collection
Business Records The oldest account books in the care of the Newport Historical Society were created in 1662 by William and Thomas Richardson, prominent Quaker merchants. The most recent are the business records of the King-McLeod Company of Newport, purveyors of dry goods on Thames Street from 1878 to 1961. For the three centuries in between, there are more than 500 volumes of records for every conceivable type of business, including colonial seafaring mercantile concerns, physicians, craftsmen, grocery stores, and farms.
Particularly strong is the collection of 18th century merchants' records, including the largest collection of Aaron Lopez Paper in the world. Lopez was a Jewish refugee who fled Portugal during a renewed wave of Inquisitorial activity in the 1750s. Though he arrived in Newport with little property or resources, he soon involved himself in mercantile activity, utilizing Jewish and non-Jewish contacts in Boston, Charleston, Halifax, New York, Jamaica, Lisbon, and Amsterdam.
Aaron Lopez and his family arrived in Newport around 1750 from New York via Lisbon, Portugal. Lopez arrived in the new world as a member of a "Marrano" family with the Christian name of "Don Duarte Lopez." Lopez immediately dropped his Christian name and took the Hebrew name of Aaron and submitted to ritual circumcision. Within twenty years, Lopez owned or had interests in over 80 sailing vessels.
Letter written in Hebrew, 1774, NHS Collections
His mercantile ventures were varied and included the export of spermaceti candles, rum, furniture, and other finished products from Newport, and the import of snuff and African slaves. Lopez came to be one of colonial America's most prominent residents, and Newport's most prosperous citizen during the town's economic Golden Age, from roughly 1740 to 1770. Available at the Society are 147 volumes of his business records, including ledger books from 1763-1775, store blotters from 1758-1775, letter books from 1754-1781, as well as account books, shipping records, and receipt books.
Maritime Records Other prominent Newport merchants represented in the Library Special Collections include Stephen Ayrault; John Banister; Christopher Champlin; the firm of Gibbs and Channing; William Ellery, a merchant, lawyer, and signer of the Declaration of Independence; Nathaniel Hart; William Hunter; Walter Newberry; Thomas Robinson; Isaac Stelle; members of the Vernon family; and many others.
The Society also has a strong collection of records from Newport's colonial craftsmen. Of particular interest are the volumes pertaining to the town's 18th century furniture makers. Included are records for three generations of the Townsend family (1750-1817); and the account books of lesser-known cabinetmakers such as Benjamin Baker (1761-1792); John Cahoone (1749-1760); James Taylor (1767-1802); and Benjamin Pierce (1835-1842). Clock and watch makers are represented, including Stephen Gould (accounts and letter books, 1807-1828; diaries, 1803-1836) and David Williams (letters, 1802-1822). The John Stevens Shop, which produced some of the finest examples of stone carving in early America, is represented by copies of their account books from 1705-1758.
By the 1720s, Newport had established itself as one of the major seaports in British colonial North America. During the town's Golden Age, Newport was the fifth most prosperous seaport in the colonies, behind New York, Charleston, Boston, and Philadelphia. Along with the business records created by prominent merchants, there are other collections that tell the story of Newport's period of maritime prosperity. These include log books, Customs House documents, and the archives of the Newport Marine Society. Also available is a large variety of shipping manifests, cargo inventories, and other documents illustrative of Newport's role in the maritime economy of North America.
Almanacs The Society's collection includes almanacs from the beginning of the 18th century, such as one printed in 1713 by Edward Holyoke of Boston, and the Rhode Island Almanac for the year 1735, written by A Poor Robin@ and printed in Newport by James Franklin, the older brother of Benjamin Franklin. There are dozens of other almanacs printed in Newport, Providence, Boston, and New York between 1751 and 1903.

Business Records in the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress By Mary M. Wolfskill. The Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress has significant holdings in the area of business records dating from the 1630's to late in the 20th century; however, most of these collections fall in the 18th and 19th centuries. The collecting of business records has not been a major focus of the division, and it is not included in present collecting policies because of the space requirements in housing such potentially voluminous quantities of material. Many of the existing collections in this area are quite small, numbering only a few items or a single account book, while others contain hundreds of thousands of items, including ledgers, journals, daybooks, cashbooks, invoices, bills, receipts, sales books, wastebooks, and the like. They may comprise the records of a company or be acquired as part of the personal papers of an individual.

This forty-volume collection, also known as Documents and Records Relating to New Hampshire, was published between 1867 and 1942 and includes a range of public and private documents. The Laws of New Hampshire, 1679-1835, compiled between 1904 and 1922, are well indexed and record action on matters private as well as public.

Provincial Court Records., c.1650-1772 Court records. Both the statutes in question and the judgments rendered can suggest the prevailing understanding of law and morality and areas of conflict in families and communities. Many surviving court records are spare, listing only the plaintiff, the defendant, and the disposition of the case. Where fuller records-depositions, for example-exist, they can provide insight into individual events both ordinary and extraordinary.
Provincial Probate, c.1650-1772. Later records at Counties. (indexed on microfilm at the New Hampshire Historical Society) Probate records are also abstracted in the New Hampshire Provincial and State Papers, volumes 31-40. Probate records consist of wills and inventories. Wills reveal patterns of bequest and inheritance. Wills can suggest the kinds of possessions which individuals and families thought to be of significance and value and, along with inventories, indicate how wealth was held. Although some men of humble means and some women left wills, the majority were left by men of property.
