Manuscript · 51 pages · German · weaving drafts
Photographic reproductions of selected pages from Jacob Snavely's handwritten German-language personal account book, dating from the 1720s and 1730s, digitized by Lebanon Valley College and compiled by Ralph Griswold in 2000. The early pages hold dated account entries (names, places, amounts, ages, weights and payments), calendar-style lists, and a few ink sketches of a figure and a bird. The last 28 pages (original pp. 58-86) were flagged as of interest to weavers and show hand-drawn weaving drafts in grid and tally notation with German notes. The handwriting is mostly illegible in the scan text.
