Excerpt from Colonial Charters, Patents and Grants to the Communities Comprising the City of New York
It is true that many more of our public records ought to be printed, such as the invaluable Mayor's Court Minutes from 1674 down. There are thousands upon thousands of record libers and files scattered about our Greater City suffering from improper housing and in need of proper organization, classification and restoration. In some places, indeed, conditions are better; but there is not a centralized organization of the various organisms that constitute our city's archives.
