Microfilmed for the New York County Clerk's Office in 1956. The original microfilm reel numbers, 3336 through 3360, are indicated on target sheets reproduced on the microfilm. Most volumes were split between one microfilm roll and the next. Subsequently the original microfilm rolls were spliced to group two or more entire volumes on a single microfilm roll, which is their present arrangement. For that reason there are multiple roll target sheets on each roll.

Six original volumes were not transferred to the State Archives in 2017. Microfilm reproductions are available for the six missing volumes, which covered the periods December 1717-May 1748, May 1727-March 1728, April 1770-January 1776, June 1785-April 1789, June 1844-April 1845, and October 1845-April 1846. Typewritten transcriptions, calendars, and indexes are available for the minute books covering the periods January 1712-July 1719 and December 1720-May 1748.

The Family History Library in Salt Lake City holds a duplicate set of the microfilm. Some of the microfilm rolls have been digitized, and the images can be accessed online at Family Search Affiliate Libraries (including the New York State Archives and New York State Library). The microfilm and digital images are cataloged under the author "New York Chancery Court (New York County)," with the title "Minutes of the Court of Chancery, 1711-1847," Genealogical Society of Utah microfilm roll numbers 590388-590415.
