Scope and Content Note
The series consists of minutes of meetings of the "Executive Committee" of the New York State Asylum for Idiots, held roughly once a month during the period from 1855 through 1891. Meetings are described as "informal" in the minutes, and the bulk of entries list bills (accounts) "audited" (i.e., presented and ordered paid). Lists show vendor/company and amount owed. Sometimes those conducting the audit are named. Damage to opening pages of the volume obscures information on the first few reported meetings.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
