The part of the site called 'aggregated data' (link) offers aggregations of several revenue or expenditure entries under collective headings, sometimes in accordance with categories in archival sources, sometimes constructed by the researchers in an attempt to summarize and make comparable the data for the different provinces. For a list of translations of the column headings for these aggregated data see below.
