Scope and Content Note

This series consists of miscellaneous financial records of the Board of Regents.

Included are vouchers and cancelled checks, 1853-1856, for expenses such as meteorological observations, visitation of academies, salaries, postage, stationery, and printing. Two booklets of check stubs from unidentified accounts are dated 1854-1857 and 1861-1862. Also included in this series are statements of accounts current for the Board of Regents, 1857-1862, and the State Cabinet of Natural History, 1859-1861. The expenses itemized on these statements are similar to the vouchers and cancelled checks. The Regents' accounts current were published in the Annual Reports of Regents of the University.
