New York House of Refuge
Description of Records
These records are described in groups called record series. This reflects the way they were created, organized, and used by officials and employees of the House of Refuge. Each description provides a summary of the type of information found in a record series. This is designed to give researchers a general idea of the subjects, forms of material, and reason records were created. Each description also gives basic information on arrangement, quantity, dates of coverage, and availability of indexes, finding aids, or microfilm copies. Researchers interested in finding out more about a record series should contact the State Archives and identify the series by citing the series number (e.g. A2051) and series title (e.g. Minutes of the Board of Managers.)
