The data in this set concerns certain books published no later than 1870 and held in the circulating collections of 14 college and university libraries in Virginia and North Carolina. It was collected by University of Virginia student research assistants as part of the project "Book Traces: Civil War Era Readers and Their Books in Virginia Libraries." They surveyed the books on site at the holding libraries, looking for handwritten marginalia and other artefactual traces of the books' historical readers. The data set includes a spreadsheet (in TSV format) of data about the books and representative photos of the marginalia found in them.
