ARCHIVIST OF THE HALL OF RECORDS 13
Provincial Court Judgments. Cards filed and available to the pub-
lic now cover the period through 1712, four years having been added
during the year. Checking, typing and filing did not keep pace with
completion of first cards which advanced from 1719 to 1733. This
work will continue.
Prince George's County Index to Deeds. Because the old general
index which the Hall of Records received from the Prince George's
County courthouse had been prepared for the most part to serve
original record volumes which had been copied and then discarded, it
was found necessary to revise this index so that it might be used for
references to the copies which were transferred to the Hall of Records.
In the case of one volume it was found impractical to use the old
index at all and a new one had to be prepared.
In addition to the items listed above which are now available either
in whole or in part to the public, the following projects are now in
progress.
