Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

The single–volume register of contracts, January 1867–July 1868 (167 ½), is arranged chronologically. This is the "Contract Book" that lists the reports of contracts approved in the subdistricts (Jan. 1867–Sept. 1868). The contracts are reproduced in NMAAHC.FB.M869 Records of the Assistant Commissioner for the State of South Carolina, Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, 1865–1870, Series 6.9: Applications for Relief. The contracts are filed with the records of the subdistrict or town in which the subdistrict headquarters was located (i.e., Barnwell, Berkley District, Honey District, Orangeburg District, Richland District, Spartanburg, and Union District). For press copies of letters sent by the superintendent of education, November–December 1868, see Volume 1 (15) of the two–volume series of press copies of letters sent for the Assistant Commissioner described above.
