of Inmate Accounts 1952 – 1958 using name index system.
The virtual
tour of the Elizabethtown Jail record-keeping in pre-computer eras began with
the Cash Book that tracked inmates’ accounts of personal purchases during
1952 – 1958.
Up front were
30 index pages, with lettered tabs, for entering an inmate name according to
the last name’s first letter.Each
index name entry would include a numbered page reference to find where that
inmate’s account began.
