The series consists of card files apparently indexing material (primarily correspondence and field books) relating to construction
of the Barge Canal (contract numbers 42, 43, 50, 51, and 55, the majority of which seem to pertain to Oneida County). Headings
pertain to canal surveys, structures, reports, excavations, estimates, claims, materials, and appropriations. These cards
typically give date of correspondence, initials from/to, "sub-subject" of letter, and a classification number (part of which
may refer to a pertinent contract number).
