Scope and Content Note
This series consists of an inventory of records in the Secretary of State's office completed by the Historical Records Survey during 1936-1937. The inventory was conducted under the auspices of the first State Director of the Survey, Dr. Edward P. Alexander and filed with Secretary of State Michael F. Walsh by George W. Roach, State Survey Supervisor, in 1941. The inventory briefly describes records held by the Corporations Division, Division of Licenses, Division of the Land Office, and the Executive Division (including Finance and Audit, Publications, Elections and Laws, Miscellaneous Records, and Personnel).
The three inventory forms (for unbound, bound, and printed items) represent records from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Information includes title of record, dates and quantity of record, brief narrative descriptions of record content, whether or not indexes to the record exist, condition of record, and location.
