Accession Information! Schedule Reference t NON! Arrangement t Chronological Finding Aid prepared bye John R. Woodard Jr. Date t December 12, 1962 This volume was the result of a resolution (N.C. Acts, 1826-27, p.85) pa~sed by the General Assembly of North Carolina, Febuary 9, 1821. This resolution proposed that the Governor of North Carolina apply to the British government for permission to secure copies of documents relating to the Co- lonial history of North Carolina. This application was submitted through the United states Ninister to the Court of St. James, Albert Gallatin. Gallatin vas giTen permission to secure copies of documents relating to the Colonial history of North Carolina. Gallatin found documents in the Board of Trade Office and the "state Paper uffice" (which was the common depository for the archives of the Home, Foreign, and Colonial departments) and made a list of them. Gallatin's list and letters from the Secretary of the Board of Trade and the Foreign Office were sent to Governor H.G. Burton, August 25, 1821 and then vere bound together to form this volume. A lottery to raise funds for the copying of the documents was authorized but failed. The only result 6"emS to have been for the State to have published, An Index to Colonial Docwnents Relative to North Carolina, 1843.

John R. Woodard Jr. . . . Date: December 14, 1962 The civil administration of the navy began with King John who appoint- ed a "Keeper of the King's Ships". During the reign of Henry VIII the navy was placed in charge of a separate department. The Navy Office was founded on April 24, 1546. During the middle of the sixteenth century the Admiralty vas eeparated into three distinct partSI the Lord High Admiralty, later the Admiralty Board, exercising executive and diliberative functions; the Navy Board, exercising civil and administrative functions; and the High Court of Admiralty, exercising judicial functions. From 1689-1782 the admiralty s,ystem consisted of an Admiralty Board, a Navy Board, and a series of lesser boards' and offices.
The directive branch of the Admiralty shaped the policy of the govern- ment, generally under the direction of the King , by orders from the Privy Council or by orders from the Secr~tary of State. It controlled the move- ment of ships, corresponded with admirals, vice-admirals, captains, comman- _. ders, and lieutenants of squadrons, and after 1762 kept elaborate digests of letters from them. It made appointments and signed warrents, administered the oath and test to naval officers, granted protection from impress, furnished passes to merchant vessels, kept in touch with subordinate officers, watched OTer the Greenwitch Hospital, received reports from subordinate boards and in turn drafted memori8~s and resolutions to the Privy ~ouncil and Treasury. It authorized all issues of money for the upkeep of tbenavy and payment of ~ personnel, civilian and military. It was in close touch with the High Court of Admiralty and issued letters of marque, controlled the holdings of court- • martius, and had immediate supervision of the marines.
The Secretary: Department of the Admiralty Board contains the corres- pondence, minutes of the Admiralty Board and miscellaneous items.
The l-Iedicu Board was orbanized during the period of the Commonwealth but was permanently esttblished in 1140 to take care of sick and wounded seamen, superintend the medical stores supplied by the apothecary general for use by the navy, manage naval hospitals ashore and afloat, examine and appoint naval surgeons, and maintain and exchange prisoners of war. The board attended the Admiralty whene7er requested and took its orders only frCl1 the highest authority. The records of this department consists of packets of letters from surgeons and agents of the sick and wounded seamen, requests for food and medicine, reports of the Medical Board and hospit~ reports •
The Registered Seamans Act required all mariners to contribute sixpence a month trom their wage. to 8upport the Greenwitch Hospital. This was exten- ded to the colonies. Receivers were appointed at each port and the Collectors • ot Custc.a were to deduct the amount from the wages ot the merchant marine •

The Declared Accounts contains accounts of Governor Josiah l-tartin or North Carolina and also an account of the duties arising under the stamp Act. The Audit Office settled account s declared before them for the govern- ment and followed practices which appear to have originated during the six- teenth centur,y. The Audit Office prepared two copies of a particular account, one on paper and the other on parchment. Both copies were then sent to the Treasury Office. After the two copies were approved and signed the paper copy was returned to the Audit Office where it was kept. The Various depu- ties in the American colonies were required to declare their accounts.
The JJnerican Loyalist C1 UlnS were the results of an attempt made in the years, 1783-180.3, to carry out the terms of the 6th Article of the Treaty of Paris. Loyalist were paid various pensions and compinsations for losses. They were paid for debts due to confiscation, professional services rendered, and matters of like nature. 1Board of Commissioners was authorized to investi- gate the claims. Tbe records of the Audit Office are larger and more important than the Treasury Office claims. Thea records consist of declarations and reports in volumes and bundles. The vol J1tesare the entry books' and ledgers contain- ing the memorials, evidence 0':' witnesses, the testimonials, the decisions of the board and the allowances nllowed. The bundles consist ot the original memorials, certificates, account-s and vouchers of the various claimants as presented to the Commission.

COLONIAL OFFICE PAPERS a 1682 - 1182 Acces8ion Information: Copied for the Historical Commis8ion by B.F. Stevena and Brown, London, 1922-19)0 Schedule Referencet None Arrangement t By volume Finding Aid prepared byt John R. Woodard Jr. . . . Date: December 21, 1962 The Colonial Office Papers are those papers that came into the hands of the varioua commissions, committees and councils of trade and plantations be- fore 1696; and, secondly, the American and West Indies and Board of Trade Papers, inc1ud1ng"Board of Trade,Commcrcia1", which began generally around 1689-1690. The Colonial ~apers and Entry eooks probably represent the accumu- lations of the Secretary of state, the Privy Council and various bodies that had to do with the P1antstioD3 after 1660. The American and West Indies Papers are composed of originql documents which came into the hands of the Secretary of state for the southern department until 1768 and of the Secre- tary of state for the colonies after that date. They are, therefore, Colon- ial state papers. The greater number of documents, other than military, contained in these volumes (No. l-4$O),were sent by the colonial governors to the Secre- tary of state. The royal governors were required to correspond with the Secretar,r whenever occurenceB happened within their government that demand- ed the immediate direction of the crown, or whene~r special letters requir- ing answers .....ere sent by the Secretary to thc governor. It should be kept in mind that letters written the SaMe day to different correspondents are quite dis1Mi1ar in sorne cases. Letters to the Secretary furnish information on military affairs and matters of policy were never sent to the Board of Trade.
The letters are generally accompanied by enclosures, the dates of which are frequently earlier than the listed dates on each volume. These enclosures consist of printed broadsides, copies of proclamations, newspaper clippingS, printed acts, manuscript ~ppies of orcers and resolves of the assembly, pro- ceedings of council, assembly and council in assembly, bills, accounts, letters aemt to governors, journals, diaries, petitions, and papers relating to relig- ious affairs, trade, smuggling, the Indians and justice. The military corres- pondence and the entry books are of even greater value than the papers of the governors. The entry books usually contain copies of five classes of docu- ments; letters, reports and representations, governors' commissions and instruc- tions, and abstracts and drafts of letters. The second part of the American and West Indies rapers are largely bundles containing papers that must haTe accwnulated gradually in the hands of the secretary. The earliest of these are clearly papers of the Lords of Trade or Board of Trade. The.r consist of petitions and memorials, charges and counter-charges, affadavits and dispositions, complaints and appeals concerning colonial quarrel. and dispuUta that had to be settled by a higher committee t!'Jab.the Privy Councilor Board of Trade. Some of these papers probably' came from the Privy Council office and a larger port1on from the Secretary of State.

Woodard Jr. Date: January' 21, 1963 The Treasury office had its beginnings during the days of the Normans. The office was in charge of a Treasurer and there was a distinct court of exchequer, which was the court 1n session dealing with questions of finance. The office was divided into the judicial and administrative branches. During the fourteenth century the head was the Kings Treasurer responsible for the revenue due and the smooth workings of the Exchequer machinery. He was the financial servant of the King until after the Revolution of 1688. In 1612 the office of Lord High Treasurpr was put in commission and the Exchequer proper, which was the department of account and receipt, was separated from the Treas- urer and the lbrds appointed by the JC'ing which constituted the department of financial control. Under Charles II the modern treasury ~ system came into op- eration. The Treasury Board sat in two capaCities, executive and administra- tiTe,and continued to exercise these functions throughout the colOnial period • .In its executive capacity the board considered ~estions of finances, debts, loans, petitiOns, requests, approvala, appointments, etc. Its activities in these fields gave rise to the minute books and the original correspondence. In its administrative capacity the board kept n series of books, in which were en- ter.d the warrants or orders by means of which expenditures Wf"re controlled. The correspondence of the Treasury department includes the Privy Council, the Secretary of State, the COmmissioners of the Customs, the Adlliralty, colon- ian agents and a ~iscellaneous body of correspondents in America, etc. The board .. de up elaborate reports and sent them to Parliament, the Privy Coun- cil and the Board of Trade and it took into consideration any matters refered to it from one or the other of these bodies. It received a great many peti- tions, memorials, and proposals from the colonies on its own account. This series contains items from the following divisions of the Treasury Papers; In-Letters, Indexes-Reference books, Customs, General Letters, Minute Books, Auditors-States of Account Books, ~~scel1aneous-Emigration Lists, Loyal_ 1st, llings Warrants, Warrants not relating to Money, and Miscellanea Varioua.

He drew up estimates for the ~ and moved that they be accepted by the House of Commons. He commissioned officers and authorized appointments. The duties of the secretary expanded rapidly during the war period from 1754-1783. Recorda also were increasing.
