New York State Department of State List of Corporations Dissolved and Annulments of Dissolutions of Corporations

Chronological by date of dissolution or annulment.

These records were compiled pursuant to Chapter 297 of the Laws of 1929 which required the state tax commission to transmit to the Department of State a list of all corporations not having filed an annual franchise tax return during a five year period from its date of incorporation or filing of last return. The New York State Bulletin was published by the Department of State pursuant to Chapter 652 of the Laws of 1981, which required that among other items, the Bulletin was to include the names of all corporations dissolved by proclamation. The Bulletin was published between 1928 and 1979 and is now entitled the New York State Register.

This series contains official lists of corporations to be dissolved, notices of erroneous inclusion in dissolutions of corporations, copies of the New York State Bulletin and memorandums from the Department of Taxation and Finance to the Secretary of State regarding announcements of proclamations of dissolution. The lists of corporations dissolved contain the corporation's name and dates of incorporation. The notices of erroneous inclusion in corporations dissolved, which were generated by the secretary of state's office and marked to the appropriate county clerk, provide the name of the corporation, the date of the proclamation under which was erroneously disclosed and the date when the notice was executed. The memorandums contain the names of corporations which should be removed from the list of corporations to be dissolved, the date of the proclamation, date of memo, name to whom addressed and signature of author.
