March 2023/ 231 pages /digital publication DOWNLOAD 
A Joint Publication of the New York State Court of Appeals and The New York State Archives
Second Edition made possible with a grant from The William Nelson Cromwell Foundation

In 1691 the Assembly of New York Colony passed an act establishing a Supreme Court of Judicature and provided that the court should be "Duely & Constantly Kept" at times to be provided. After over 350 years of political revolution and independence from Great Britain, four State constitutions, and four major reorganizations of the judiciary, the Supreme Court continues as the State’s court of “general, original jurisdiction." Extending the meaning of the phrase, a comprehensive collection of New York’s earliest court records, covering the period of 1690 to 1847, are now "duly and constantly kept" at the State Archives.
