Scope and Content Note
This series consists of thirty-five bound volumes and six folders of executive orders issuing commissions for a variety of
non-elective offices. The orders are directed to the Secretary of State and ask that commissions be attested and sent to the
individuals appointed by the 
governor 
. Each order contains the name of the appointee and position, date, residence (usually county or town), date, and signature
of the appointing governor . The series contains not only orders relating to in-state matters but also out of state and in some cases foreign appointments.
The volumes are arranged in chronological order and a listing is available.
