This series documents basic information for historical markers erected throughout the state; for markers that were never erected; and for markers that were later destroyed. The cards are pre-printed with typewritten or handwritten information added. Each card contains information about the location of the marker, its inscription, when it was approved by the Office of State History staff, the date it was installed, and maintenance information. This is likely a partial inventory containing only those markers of which staff was made aware.
