Alcohol reports and inventories, 1923 - 1927
Scope and Contents
During the Prohibition Era, the Commonwealth of Virginia allowed pharmacists and drug stores to sell alcohol as a medicine. In Charlottesville, these licensed merchants were required to report their complete alcohol inventory to the Clerk of the Corporation Court monthly. This file contains some reports that the Clerk's Office preserved after the ratification of the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
