Synopsis

This book features various reports on the endangered state of official records, such as title documents and deeds, from the early days of Providence beginning in the 17th century. The author emphasizes the value of these documents to historians and genealogists, as well as their vulnerability to loss or damage from accidents, natural disasters, and even war. Many of the records were in danger of being lost forever due to the poor conditions in which they were stored. The author makes the case for preserving these records to protect the historical and legal record of the region. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who has an interest in the early history of Providence or in the preservation of historical documents.
