Scope and Contents of the Materials

This series contains original land title abstracts for properties located in New York City owned by Green-Wood Cemetery. Each title includes information about ownership, location (street and cross-street names), and attorney name. Some titles include section and block numbers, examination and approval dates, title number, plot dimensions, color coding (yellow, green, blue, or red highlights), price of the plot, and interest rates.

The titles are, as of now, unable to be opened. They are rolled up and tied with ribbon. A humidifier will be needed to open the documents.
