Description: Four volumes of bursars accounts covering the years 1745-1770, 1743-1770, 1770-1786, and 1850-1875. Pages 21-31 are missing from the 1750’s book. Four volumes of bursars accounts covering the years 1745-1770, 1743-1770, 1770-1786, and 1850-1875. The accounts document William and Mary students, faculty, and staff in the 18th-19th centuries. Of particular note are accounts related to the Brafferton Indian School and slaves at the College of William and Mary. Note that the volumes labeled as ending in 1776 in some cases also include accounts from the first quarter of 1777. The account of Thomas Jefferson is in the 1745-1770 volume. These books have all been microfilmed and are on a reel with Acc. 1985.073. Photostatic copies and a digital version are also available. Researchers must use the microfilm, photostats, or digital version.
