Scope and Content Note
This series consists of six provisional charters and one absolute charter of former educational corporations in New York State. The charters are signed and sealed copies, mounted on cardboard, which had been given to educational institutions by the Board of Regents upon incorporation. The Board of Regents preferred that educational corporations surrender their charters at the time that they ceased to exist, although many institutions clearly did not do so.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
