Summary:
This series consists of certified copies of awards by the Canal Appraisers (through 1883) and by the Board of Claims (1883-1897),
and of judgments by the Court of Claims (1897-1953). These awards were made for damages to lands adjacent to state canals.
Many such damages were sustained by private persons when their lands were appropriated temporarily or permanently for repairs
or enlargement of the Erie Canal, for the so-called $9,000,000 improvement at the turn of the century, and for construction
of the Barge Canal system.
