Police Treasurer’s Book

Discover a rare glimpse into the financial workings of Jefferson Parish’s early government with the digitized Police Jury Treasurer’s Book from 1866 to 1872. This invaluable record represents the earliest existing financial documentation outside of the official Police Jury minutes, offering unique insights into the fiscal history of the parish when its seat was located in Carrollton (now part of Uptown New Orleans). The Jefferson Parish Historical Society extends its sincere appreciation to the Jefferson Parish Historical Commission for their generous funding, which made this digitization project possible.
