Never judge an order book by its cover. What seems to be an unremarkable Manchester City record book carries a tangible link to the city’s past when public transportation reigned supreme and the clip-clop of horses' hooves on stone pavers echoed between brick-walled factories.

Our archivists are excited to provide greater access to this volume and all of Virginia’s historic records with which we are entrusted.
