Holding History: Vignettes from the Ledger Project

Procter Gallery
September 22, 2025 through the Fall

Donated in 1999, the Schilling & Noble Ledger Collection is comprised of nearly 100 ledgers and daybooks which document the sales and inventories of the general store in Stockbridge from 1795 to 1911. These books provide a wealth of information for researchers, and their contents paint a detailed picture of everyday life in 18^th, 19^th, and early 20^th century Stockbridge.  Some dedicated volunteers are assisting us by skimming the books and summarizing their contents.

This exhibit showcases some of the work done by volunteers to date, along with their own words. We are immensely grateful for the work they have done and continue to do.
