Book excerpt: The searcher exploring the records of the Chancery's proceedings in equity, in the 17th and 18th centuries, encounters formidable hurdles in identifying and locating materials, either in a given suit, or category of suits. First there is the enormous volume of paper and parchment that the Court's caseload and increasingly elongated process generated. Second there is the fact that the materials for any suit are not grouped together. Third there is the absence of any index. This handbook has been produced to guide the searcher through any difficulties he or she may encounter in their research.
