Each sessional volume containing slavery-related statutes is listed alphabetically
by its state abbreviation, and then chronologically by the date of the sessional
volume.
A detailed table of contents has been prepared for each sessional volume.
The table of contents lists the title of every slavery-related statute in the order
in which it appears in the volume. Where statutes have been assigned a chapter
or other number those numbers precede the title; where no number has been
assigned to the specific statute, the title is preceded by a dash. Relevant page
numbers follow the statute title in square brackets.
Following the table of contents is a listing of all indexing terms that have
been assigned to that particular volume. This list, though not quite even a
verbless abstract of the content of the statutes, does give the researcher an idea
of the topics covered in the statutes of each session.
Index by Subjects, Names, And Geographic Locations
The Index by Subjects, Names, and Geographic Locations provides access by
(1) major subject themes and organizations covered in the statutes; (2) names
of persons affected; and (3) names of cities, towns, counties, and other locations.
Entries in this index consist of the following structural elements:
• terms;
• accession numbers;
• "see" and "see also" references.
