It's a great purchase. There is also O'Callaghan's Documents series, French, EnglishDutch etc documents collected in 13 volumes around the same time. Not easy to find (or fund) a complete set of either in good condition.

 Is anyone on this list familiar with a 4 volume set of books entitled The
Documentary History of the State
of New York by E.B. O'Callaghan published by Weed, Parsons & Co. , Albany,
1850?  It appears to be
a compilation of primary source material beginning (I believe) in the
1600's.  If you know of the books,
do you know if this is mostly information that can be elsewhere obtained (in
more recent publications).
My main question is, is it a worthwhile purchase?
