When the court of chancery was abolished in 1847, its records were also sent to the court of appeals of Albany. In the 1960s, these and many records of the New York County Surrogate's Court were sent to The Historical Documents Collection at Queens College, where they were later microfilmed. The court of appeals documents have since been transferred back to Albany to the New York State Archives. These records are now at the state archives as Records of the New York Court of Probates and its Colonial Predecessors, 1664–1823. The collection contains wills, 1671–1815; accounts, 1666–1823; and administrations, 1700–1823. The records of the First Circuit Chancery Court are still at the New York County Courthouse, Office of the City Clerk. | When the court of chancery was abolished in 1847, its records were also sent to the court of appeals of Albany.
