Volumes of both written and typed rough minutes document the Canal Board's administration of the canals in accordance with legislation of 1826 and 1870. The series is comprised mainly of resolutions (both written and, later, printed which have been pasted in the volumes) and financial statements concerning: issuing of stock; transfer of bank account; purchase of real estate; settlement of wages; estimates of canal repairs; and approval for the payment of monies to contractors for work performed.
A0856-19: The pages in this accretion were taken from a long missing Volume 1 of this series and cover the years 1828-1831. The portion of the volume covering the earliest years of the Board, 1826-1828, is still missing.
