  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

In the New World, cloth makers and merchants found continu­ ously buoyant demand that more than compensated for the shrinking of traditional markets as mercantilist barriers arose and newly com­ petitive manufacturing centres proliferated across Europe. Shortly before the outbreak of the War of Independence, it has been estimated that about ‘half of all English exports of silk goods, printed cotton and linen goods, and flannels’, and between ‘two-thirds and three-quarters of all exported English .

  • Transcription Instructions
    Project Summary: William Ramsay was a merchant and civic official who lobbied with the Virginia General Assembly to establish the town of Alexandria, VA. The Ramsay store sold a huge variety of goods: for home (cooking and cleaning, sewing furnishings and clothes), for building and agriculture (tools and supplies), for personal use (like combs or jewelry), for reading and writing (books, paper and supplies), as well as grocery items (dry goods, spices, and beverages). The products listed in the database reflect a globalized consumer market with items from across Europe, India, China, the West Indies, and the Caribbean. The ledger, housed at the Smithsonian archive, begins when the store was founded in 1753 and continues through 1756. Ramsay used double entry accounting, where daily sales were recorded in a daybook then debts were copied into the ledger. The ledger, therefore, records the dated itemized purchases where merchants extended credit (debits) on the left with customer payments (credits) listed on the facing page. Since the daybook does not survive, we do not have complete information on cash sales and sadly cannot fully understand some financial issues, even foot traffic in the store. The ledger does, however, reflect a wide range of purchases by a culturally diverse range of customers. Spreadsheet: This project is being transcribed into a spreadsheet in order to allow more functional ability to search and categorize the information for interpretation. To facilitate such analysis, data needs to be entered in a slightly more systematized way than a straight transcription. Each line on the spreadsheet reflects a line of sales or payments.

DuPlessis The long debate over the relative contributions of foreign and domestic demand to European industrialization remains unresolved. In recent years, however, schol­ ars have emphasized the dynamism and growing prominence of Atlantic markets in the eighteenth century. Ralph Davis’s seminal articles reveal that total English exports (including re-exports) rose some two and a half times in value between 1699—1701 and 1772-4, but those to Africa and the Americas jumped sixfold, with exports of English manufactures multiplying by a factor of nearly 8.4.* In the case of France, foreign trade grew fivefold. French trade with Europe quadrupled, but that with the Atlantic world increased tenfold. The Atlantic’s share of French exports rose from 4 per cent to 17 per cent in the eighteenth century.
