Abstract

The article covers source analysis of written historical documents on the problem of organization of convicts' labor at road construction in the State of Washington at the beginning of the 20th century. The article begins with general information on the prison road construction project which was developed and implemented in the state during the period from 1907 to 1917. The relevance of the article is also indicated. The academic significance of this study is determined by the absence of research on the declared problems in historiography and possibility to use some of the conclusions in the further complex study of penal policies in other American states. Description of historical documents based on general methods of source study is specified in the article. During the study documents from different State Archive record groups were researched: documents of the Highway Department, the Department of Corrections, the Board of Control and papers of Governors Albert Mead, Marion Hay and Ernest Lister. Prevalence of office documents among the sources which include normative office documents, business correspondence, corporate financial and legal documentation and prison documentation is noticed. As part of external assessment, primary data of historical sources were identified. Attribution and determination of place and time of sources creation were based on direct and indirect information. Also the condition of documents, the degree of their preservation, the quality of printing ink and copy paper were considered. Availability of marginalia and interpolations was also considered in the article. Such paleographic problems as the existence of different types of handwriting in one document and a large number of grammatical errors were indicated. Internal assessment of documents was devoted to the analysis of the completeness, reliability and representativity of information as well as the possibility of data falsification. In the conclusion, the degree of documents' preservation is highly estimated. Less than one percent of documents were extremely damaged and were not subject to recovery. The considered archival documents contain a lot of factual data on the problem of convicts' employment at road construction in the State of Washington. Most of the data in the documents are detailed, complete, authentic and exact. At the same time certain representativity issues and absence of psychological effect were identified; as a result, the authors' attitude towards the described problems is traced very poorly. Another important problem was falsification of some financial documents related to the implementation of the prison road development project in the state.
