For a given vector measure n, an important problem, but in practice a difficult one, is to give a concrete description of the dual space of L1(n). In this note such a description is presented for an important class of measures n, namely the spectral measures (in the sense of N. Dunford) and certain other vector and operator-valued measures that they naturally induce. The basic idea is to represent the L1-spaces of such measures as a more familiar space whose dual space is known.
