Textual records (Electronic) Finding Aid 250 part 1 provides an historical introduction to the Audit Office records and the inter-relationships amongst series; copies of shelf lists produced by or for the Public Record Office (now The National Archives); a shelf list correlating microfilm references for both the transcripts and the film of the originals; and notes on the utility of various published guides to Audit Office records. Finding Aid 250, part 2 reproduces the B. F. Stevens nominal index of claimants for Audit Office 12 (notably volumes 1 to 95, 99 to 106, 109 to 112) - which index is also available on reel B-1154. Microfilm reel C-9821 reproduces the principal shelf lists from FA 250 part 1 and the Stevens nominal indexes for AO 12 and AO 13 from FA 250 parts 2 and 3, respectively. MSS0250 (90: Open)

Textual records (Paper) Several recent published works serve as finding aids to records of the Loyalist Claims Commissioners in Audit Office 12, and to other related series. Peter Wilson Coldham's work "American Migrations, 1765-1799" (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 2000) provides an analytical summary for each of the claims and evidence in both AO 12 and AO 13, organized first by the colony in which the losses occurred, then alphabetically, concluding with a nominal index. Introductory notes provide contextual information, while appendices identify related records in Treasury 50, 77 and 79. The geographical arrangement extends the book's utility beyond genealogical research, W. Bruce Antliff designed "An Inventory of Audit Office 12" (Kingston, Ontario: Antliff Publishers, 2011) to summarize the arrangement and contents of the volumes, and availability of internal indexes at various levels. Introductory notes outline the several commissions appointed to hear claims under various Acts and the patterns of survival of the records they created, whether in AO 12 or elsewhere. This presentation supports a wide range of research approaches to the records. (90: Open)
