Первый устав был выдан в 1606 году королем Яковом I и дал компании право основывать колонии на американском побережье. Второй и третий уставы были выданы в 1609 и 1612 годах и расширили территорию и полномочия компании.

Помимо трех основных документов, в книгу также включены семь связанных с ними исторических документов того периода: инструкции колонистам, письма короля Якова I руководителям компании, указы о колонизации и другие важные текст
