Rhode Island Financial and Legal Documents Collection, Ms.93.4, Brown University Library.

The Rhode Island Financial and Legal Documents Collection comprises approximately 1350 discrete documents from the Colonial and Early Republic periods. The bulk of these materials are financial in nature and describe contractual agreements between individuals, organizations, and state agencies including the Rhode Island General Treasurer, General Assembly, and Governor, or agents thereof. Although arranged in forty-two series, nine constitute the vast majority of the collected documents: accounts, bills, bonds, certificates, letters, mortgages, orders, receipts, and oversize materials. The oversize materials comprise, with few exceptions, mortgages.

Although Brown University has physical ownership of the collection and the materials contained therein, it does not claim literary rights. Researchers should note that compliance with copyright law is their responsibility. Researchers must determine the owners of the literary rights and obtain any necessary permissions from them.

There are no restrictions on access, except that the collection can only be seen by prior appointment. Some materials may be stored off-site and cannot be produced on the same day on which they are requested.

This collection is organized by document type into 44 series:

Accounts Adjustment of account Agreements Assessments Astronomical tables Bills Bills of lading Bills of sale Blank paper Bonds Certificates Complaints Deeds Depositions Diaries Exchange Fragments General Assembly Indentures Inventories Judgements Labels Leases Letters Lists Mary M. Maxwell Memoranda Minutes Mortgages Notes Orders Permits Petitions Plats Power of attorney Promissory notes Receipts Recipes Surveys Votes Warrants Writs SUPPLEMENT, 1994 Oversize documents Administrative information

The collection was purchased in two lots prior to 1993.

The collection was physically processed and arranged by Brown University Library staff, circa 1993. An item-level inventory of the collection was created at that time. The current finding aid is derived from the existing inventory, with minor changes to clarify the intellectual arrangement of the materials.
