Summary:
The series consists of minutes of meetings of the "Executive Committee" of the New York State Asylum for Idiots, held roughly once a month between 1855 and 1891. Meetings are described as "informal" in the minutes, and the bulk of entries list bills audited. 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.
