1875 Orange County Tax Records digitized!

The 1875 Orange County tax records collection we will be using for this project has been digitized and is available on the Internet Archive! One of our first tasks will be to think through how we can transcribe this information effectively for transfer into a database for subsequent analysis.  We will also want to begin collecting relevant contextual information around the year 1875.
