Custodial History

In the 1830s the secretary of state's office bound these records into Volumes 40 and 41 of the "Assembly Papers." Volume 40 also contained series A1822, Reports on Petitions for Bounty Lands for Revolutionary War Service. These records sustained minor burn damage in the 1911 State Capitol fire. From 2006-2008 they were treated at the Conservation Center for Art and Historical Artifacts in Philadelphia, PA with funding from a Save America's Treasures grant and the New York Archives Partnership Trust.
