The minutes are chronological by court dates. Separate volumes are arranged in alphabetical order. Volume H includes entries for two distinct time periods. The same is true of the Blotters and Register of Actions, which may be used to find the unique case number corresponding to the appropriate case. Judgment Dockets may be used to determine case numbers as well.
Blotters provide the minutes in an abbreviated fashion.
More detailed information may be found in case files, commitment records, and information and indictment records. Judgment books and civil case decisions record the outcome of the cases. Naturalization record books show further documentation of naturalizations. For appeals to the district court the lower court records should be checked, as should the Supreme Court for appeals from the district court. A research guide on court records is available for patron use.
