Custodial History

A0047-78: These records survived the 1911 Capitol fire; part of the series has severe burn damage, but there is still much readable information.

A0047-78: This volume did not suffer any burn damage. Although no documentation exists regarding the transfer of this volume, it was most likely transferred to the State Archives by the State Library. The volume was accessioned in conjunction with a project undertaken by Archives staff in 2003 to describe or integrate estrayed or unidentified records.
