Custodial History

The provenance of these ledgers is unclear. They may have been part of a large transfer of canal-related records acquired in 1983 from the Department of Transportation that contained series B0249-83, Accounts of property first cleared and left at Boonville on the Black River Canal. However, it is also possible that they may have been included in the 1985 transfer of a large body of canal-related material stored by the Department of Transportation at the old Canal Museum formerly located in Syracuse.
