Thirty-three volumes of registers of bonds issued under provision of acts for internal improvements. Entries made as a result of the Maryland Laws of 1834, ch. 241, are listed in three columns indicating the coupon number, the amount, and when paid. Many pages are inscribed with the date the bond was cancelled and the stock issued.

A number of volumes are concerned with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (Maryland Laws of 1838, ch. 386) as well as the Susquehanna & Tidewater canals (Maryland Laws of 1838, ch. 416).
