Files in this series contain signed and sealed copies of interstate compacts and intergovernmental agreements entered into by the State of New York.

Particularly noteworthy is the earliest compact in the series. This compact, agreed to in 1921 by the states of New York and New Jersey, created the Port of New York District and established the Port of New York Authority (later Port Authority of New York and New Jersey).
