content: There are records consisting of unbound reports of persons and articles hired, arranged chronologically, October 1866–March 1869; one volume of reports of persons and articles hired by the Superintendent, arranged chronologically and thereunder by first letter of location of school, January-August 1870; one register of monthly rents for school buildings, arranged by initial letter of town, July 1868–May 1870; and several small series, relating to buildings, stores, and vouchers, January 1867–August 1870.

The reports of persons and articles hired vary from month to month in the information provided, but the amount of compensation paid is generally listed. The most numerous items are schoolhouses, for which the owners and locations are given. Employees and their occupations and articles hired (such as boats or teams) also appear.  

Included in the short series are contracts, agreements, and certificates for construction, repair, and renting of schoolhouses, January 1867–April 1870; monthly returns for stores received and issued, May 1869–August 1870; and lists of vouchers forwarded to the Chief Disbursing Officer, February 1869–January 1870, with undated lists at the end of the series.

Copies of some of these list are also in the letter press books. A series of receipts for checks, 1868–70, has not been filmed.
