Scope and Content Note

This series consists of minutes, resolutions, reports, and a small amount of correspondence generated by or directed to the Board of Managers of the New York State Soldiers' Depot. The bulk of the series consists of minutes of meetings of the Board of Managers and monthly reports submitted by the Superintendent of the depot to the board. The minutes reflect the board's duties as the depot's administrative organ, while the superintendent's reports reflect the day to day operation and maintenance of the depot. The surgeon's reports occasionally provide information on the admissions requiring medical attention as well as a description of types of wounds or illnesses treated.
