Card index to Barge Canal correspondence and field books, [ca. 1905-1916].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/83188794

The series consists of card files apparently indexing material (primarily correspondence and field books) relating to construction of the Barge Canal. Although the exact source and purpose of the index is unknown, it clearly relates to contract numbers 42, 43, 50, 51, and 55, the majority of which seem to pertain to Oneida County. It may be part of a master card file arranged and kept by the Superintendent (later Department) of Public Works. Headings and subheadings under the various contracts are myriad, and pertain to canal surveys, structures, reports, excavations, estimates, claims, materials, and appropriations.
