The Ledger Collection is an artificial collection containing family ledgers, commercial business ledgers, government ledgers, and school district specific ledgers. These ledgers have been in the Greenwich Historical Society collection for several decades and have mostly lost their original associated accession numbers, having been combined into this collection sometime in the 1980s. For any specific items still retaining their original accession number, such has been annotated into that specific item's description.
