"Catalogue of the Torrence Papers" is a detailed listing of historical documents and correspondence held by the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio Library. The catalog provides researchers and historians with an invaluable guide to a significant collection of primary source material related to the early history of Ohio and the surrounding region.

The catalog includes references to a wide range of topics, including military affairs (Legionville), land ownership, and postal services. The listed names--Ludlow, Schenck, Pendleton, Ramsey, Gano--highlight the interconnectedness of the early settlers and their impact on the region. This catalogue is an essential resource for anyone studying the political, social, and economic history of Ohio and the Old Northwest Territory.
