- Scope & content
- “John Campbell (1806-1891) was one of about 370 Scottish handloom weavers who brought his technical and professional skills to Ontario in the mid- to late-nineteenth century. From 1859 to 1885, Campbell recorded customer orders for close to 54,000 yards of cloth in a 302-page account book, a document which reveals the relationship between producers and consumers in nineteenth-century rural Ontario.” Counting on Customers: John Campbell, 1806-1891, Middlesex County Handloom Weaver, Deborah Livingston-Lowe, 2012, https://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/server/api/core/bitstreams/6ae6bd84-6e4e-4f82-b024-461f2db36ec9/content For more information about the Account Book of John Campbell, please visit "Weaver Account Book of John Campbell 1859 1885 Middlesex County Ontario" by Deborah Livingston-Lowe, https://www.academia.edu/33872900/Weaver_Account_Book_of_John_Campbell_1859_1885_Middlesex_County_Ontario
