== Why Should I Look at This Collection? ==
Add this section to describe any special benefit to looking at this collection.
== What is in This Collection? ==
== What is in This Collection? ==
This collection contains census and other rolls listing names of Cherokee Indians, primarily of the Eastern Band of that tribe. Each of the Eastern Cherokee census rolls was compiled for different administrative reasons, had a different format, and contained different amounts of information. Most of the rolls were made to determine eligibility for payments due under provisions of the 1835 treaty, or were receipt rolls for payments made to tribal members. Some of the rolls are copies that were used by enrolling agents to assist them in their work. Most of the rolls are arranged by geographical location of residence, and most include alphabetical indexes of the names of persons enrolled.
Please do not just copy and paste the Publishable Description from the Guidance Tab in Rosetta. Use that description as a base and add information based on what you know about the collection when the article is written. Check out the original records or microfilm collections, to see what they look like. At first this description is only preliminary, it should be updated as more is known about the collection or the collection scope changes. You may want to mention the archive where the collection was housed.
