- Summary
-
These volumes contain translations (earlier volumes) and transcriptions of records covering the years 1752 through 1876, providing insight into the life of the Moravian community, including excerpts from various documents, including the diaries kept by pastors of the various Moravian congregations in Wachovia. They recorded not only the doings of their own religious body, but made note of the state of the weather, incidents of travel, prevailing fashions, and features of topography. Some volumes also contain abstracts or summaries of church register material of births and baptism, marriages, and deaths and burials.
