Historical skills : weights and measurements
Abstract
Aims to identify and explain some common difficulties in deciphering units of weights, measurements, and money in historical documents. Explores English and Welsh measuring systems, predominantly those used from the late sixteenth and early 17th centuries onwards, and those in force after the Weights and Measures Act of 1824.
The resource includes a glossary and bibliography. Illustrative images of items from our collections appear throughout.
