33 photographs · 11 document groups

Photographed by Whit from the recovered Joseph Dow collection. Descriptions draw on visible names, dates and subjects; uncertain readings remain provisional. Reading copies are turned upright, and each image links to the unchanged full-resolution original.

JDT-D600 · School register: opening term entries, 1833

The opening photographed register pages include a First term heading dated May 1, 1833, and the beginning of the following term. Rows pair student names with home towns and numerical account columns. Deerfield, Pembroke, Epsom, Concord and other places recur, showing the school’s regional intake.

JDT-D601 · Later 1833 entries and the next term opening

The student list continues through later 1833 entries in the same ruled account format, followed by the start of another term. Names and amounts occupy separate columns; repeated surnames should not be merged without comparing the full entries.

JDT-D602 · School register entries, early 1834

These pages continue the register into early 1834, retaining the end of one term and the following sequence. Student names, towns and varied account figures appear line by line. They are photographed entries, not a reconstructed attendance total.

JDT-D603 · Continuing school accounts, 1834

These pages continue the register through 1834. Student names, home places and charges or payments are entered line by line, with occasional additions and corrections. The sequence is preserved as photographed rather than rearranged alphabetically.

JDT-D604 · School register continuation, 1834–1835

Home-town names and varied numerical entries continue alongside the student list. The page edges and neighboring columns are retained to help identify continuations. This portion crosses the annual teaching sequence, so photographs have not been divided merely at a heading.

JDT-D605 · School register: continuing entries and a new annual sequence

These two views preserve account entries and the transition into a further annual term sequence. The manuscript’s figures are left for direct reading rather than converted into modern tuition amounts.

JDT-D607 · Second term commencing August 1835

The heading reads Second term commencing August 1835. Four views follow its names, towns and numerical columns, including brief marginal additions. The term numbering restarts within annual sequences; it is not a running count for the whole volume.

JDT-D608 · Third term commencing December 10, 1835

A Third Term heading dated December 10, 1835 introduces the next roster. Names and town entries continue on the following page, with different amounts and lengths of attendance visible in the right-hand columns.

JDT-D609 · First term commencing April 26, 1836

The heading reads First Term commencing April 26, 1836. Three photographs retain the roster, its continuation and the start of the next term at the foot of the final view. A photograph crossing a term boundary remains intact.

JDT-D610 · Later 1836 terms and a faint closing view

The closing part of this school-register sequence includes the continuation of a second term and a Third Term heading dated December 8, 1836. A faint final page is preserved alongside the more legible entries. The school’s name is not securely established by a title page in this photographed section.
