A collection of 40 early modern indentures from the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

The Sutro Library's collection of 40 early modern indentures are from primarily what is now the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. The earliest indenture dates to 1581 and the most recent is 1908. The documents vary in size, length, and medium. Some are handwritten, others are printed, and some are a combination of both. The documents cover legal transactions that are focused on property and are primarily in English. Many contain wax and embossed seals.
