The Glamorgan ledgers begin with the reorganisation of the Tredegar estates in 1846. Almost from the start the ledgers are created in groups, with a single ledger for 1846-1852, two volumes 1852-1862, and a block of four volumes started in 1862. A number of volumes were then started, from 1869, apparently as needed, until a block of five volumes were started 1892-1894. The creation of a separate series of Cardiff audit books in 1877 seems to go un-noticed among the ledgers; although ledgers may have become either predominently rural or predominently urban, the title 'Cardiff ground rents' first appears on a spine in 1893, and even then other 1893 volumes of rents in Splott and Roath continue to be intitled 'Glamorgan estates'.

The audit books are the annual settled accounts between the agent and the landowner, including the rental account. Most estates simply call these accounts rentals.

Collection books record money as it is received. This information is later transferred to the appropriate audit books, rent ledgers and other accounts. Consequently collecton books do not usually contain any unique information, and frequently do not survive as complete series.
