Processing Information
The master microfilm was donated to the State Archives in March 1992 by Putnam County historian Sallie Sypher without a duplicate public use copy. Copies for research use were produced by Archives staff in July 1997 and master copies were transferred to the State Records Center for storage by TL #97-08.
The accession resulted from a project by Archives staff in 1997 to accession or identify estrayed or unidentified records.
