Brock Collection: Correspondence of Virginia State Board of Immigration
Manuscripts
Letters received by the Board, chiefly addressed to Governor James Lawson Kemper and Samuel H. Boykin, Secretary of the Board. The correspondence documents the state government's attempt to attract immigrants from other states and from abroad, particularly from England, Scotland, and Germany. The correspondence falls roughly into two categories: applications for agents' positions, and requests for literature published by Board, particularly for Jedediah Hotckkiss' "Virginia; a geographical and political summary" (Richmond, Va., 1876) and Matthew Fontaine Maury's "Physical survey of Virginia" (Richmond, Va. 1878.) There are a few items relating to a competition between the Board and various state and commercial agencies promoting emigration to the West and letters from emigration agencies in Great Britain and charitable immigration societies in the state. Correspondents include Jedediah Hotchkiss. Also included are orders and minutes of meetings of the Board (1877-1878)
