Continental Journals (PA) 1775-1785

About This Collection

This collection contains a record of State monetary transactions kept on a daily basis. Although the payments recorded date from 1775-1785, the journals themselves were probably created in the late 1780s or early 1790s for auditing purposes. Types of transactions recorded include tax payments, fines, revenue, government expenses, and transactions of county officials. Information given includes a description of each transaction, the amounts involved, reference page number for the Continental Ledgers, and often the date of the transaction. Images are arranged by date of transaction. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
