Covering the years 1774 to 1836, the collection is made up of petitions, resolves, votes, committee reports, and acts of Vermont's General Assembly. Box 1 contains various resolves, petitions, journals of the General Assembly, letters, motions, and miscellaneous papers. A few notable items in the collection include a vote of the General Assembly naming officers "persuant to Ethan Allen's request" and a copy of a letter addressed to the President of the United States signed by Moses Robinson and Gideon Olin congratulating him on his election to the presidency and expressing Vermont's desire for statehood. The collection also includes a resolve appointing Roger Enos, Samuel Safford, and Ezra Stiles (whose papers form part of the Stevens Collection) to "quiet the people inhabiting the Western Territory." Box 2 consists entirely of acts, some of which appear to be printers copies.
