Custodial History

This volume was probably compiled by the Statistics Section in the Administration Division beginning shortly after a fire in the State Capitol in 1911 destroyed all of the state's school district records. The state attempted to reconstruct the pre-1911 files relating to the formation of union free school districts (see series B0554-82, School District and Vocation Education and Extension Boards Establishment and Alteration Legal Files). The fragmentary information collected was summarized in this volume.
