This series contains vouchers submitted to the Essex Company for payment during every fiscal year from the inception of the company (1845-1979). Each voucher is numbered sequentially. An index of vouchers is included for some years. In some cases, early vouchers are handwritten on slips of paper. Also included are vouchers on merchant or business stationery, providing evidence as to the commercial history of Greater Lawrence and Northeastern Massachusetts. The records typically contain the name of the individual or business, the item or service rendered, and the cost.

All bills and receipts were originally folded to conform to the filing containers used by the Essex Company. Many are odd-sized documents. Most are in good condition, though a few have tears that appear to be from repeated opening and closing of the containers. The bills and receipts remain folded as they were found, but have been re-housed in more appropriate containers.
