- Overseers of the Poor and Welfare
- Public Health Records
- Magistrate and Police Court Records
- Schools

The records are arranged essentially in chronological order within each series or sub-series. The Town Clerk’s files (Series B) are arranged essentially in chronological order within each file as appears to have been the practice of the Clerk during the records’ creation.
