Upon the varieties and uses of public records a discussion appears above (No. 3). Here is a brief list of some of the most important collections. Most of them may be had, either from the state or society publishing them, or at second hand. Single volumes or partial sets are often available. A long list of such works may be found in Channing and Hart, Guide, § 29. In many cases, parts of records are printed in the collections or proceedings of state historical societies (see No. 5 above).
