Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Subseries 1E: Ledgers includes 75 ledgers documenting the financial transactions of the college from the 19th through the early 20th centuries. The earliest ledger, titled "Ledger of the Trustees of the College of New Jersey" dates from 1769 and is the only colonial binding on any official record held within the University Archives. The ledger also includes a bookbinder's ticket identifying the binding as the work of Philadelphia bookbinder John Dean. The bookbinder's ticket is engraved in silver and signed.
Researchers seeking the University's financial documents, including ledgers, should also consult AC161, Office of the Controller Records. The Office of the Controller was established in 1920, and responsibility for keeping the University's general ledger shifted to that office (held 1920-1941 by G.C. Wintringer, who also held the office of Treasurer between 1930 and 1941.
