Jamestown Historical Briefs
I was looking for a document to clarify some points I was researching on flax production in the 18th century, and I ran across this page:
Jamestown Historical Briefs, put out by the Colonial National Historical Park. Besides some stuff more specific to the historiy of Jamestown and some of its shining lights, there was this section of articles on old production techniques. Useful starting site for getting some info how did they do it with some bibliographical information. And it did answer my question about flax production (which was did they broadcast the seed, or use some sort of seed tool to plant it in rows. They broadcast it.)
Brewing
Drug Production
Glass making
Flax Production
Silk Production
Tanning
Pottery Production
