Executive Committee meeting minutes, 1855-1891.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122488136

The series consists of minutes of meetings of the "Executive Committee" of the New York State Asylum for Idiots, held roughly once a month during the period of November (?) 1855 through March 1891. Meetings are described as "informal" in the minutes, and the bulk of entries list bills (accounts) "audited" (i.e., presented and ordered paid). 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.
