Scope and Content Note
The series consists of one bound volume of accounts of superintendents of various sections of New York State canals between 1852-1858. The accounts contain information on the date monies were paid out or received, nature of the transaction, amount and figures on services and disbursements. In some instances correspondence has been included with the accounts for clarification of a particular entry. Signed dispositions attesting to the fact that work has been completed or monies received are occasionally included with the accounts. The series is arranged accordingly to canal and the entries are then made chronological. An index to each superintendent statement is located in the front of the volume.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
