Detailed Description
Administrative History
Most records in this series are on parchment. A law of 1801 allowed the use of paper in place of parchment in court proceedings and changed the method by which decrees were enrolled. In the mid-nineteenth century the Court of Appeals compiled the present series from pre-1800 parchment and paper documents that the Court of Chancery had not incorporated into its filing system.
