Scope and Content Note

The series consists of a company/regimental orderly book for the 2nd Regiment New York State Artillery, which was stationed in New York City during the War of 1812. It shows the day by day activities of the organization.

The volume was used as a scrapbook by a subsequent owner (unknown) and the original contents were pasted over with newsprint articles dating from the 1830s. Remnants of these articles were retained with the series after conservation work to restore the original manuscript entries.

14403Series 14403, General Orders, contains orders of the Adjutant General from the same time span as this series.

Acquisition Information

The volume was donated to the State Archives in July 1991 by the Arizona Historical Foundation. The accession resulted from a project by Archives staff in 1997 to accession or integrate estrayed or unidentified records.

Access Restrictions

Restricted due to fragility. Closed for use pending preservation treatment.
