The record book was kept as the official copy which was available for public use. Under current Utah law and the laws of the territorial legislature, individuals desiring to incorporate were to file and record articles of incorporation with their respective county clerk. These agreements specified the nature and place of business, amount of stock to be issued, terms for officers, etc. The clerk in turn issued a certificate of incorporation and recorded the final articles of incorporation in record books.
Entries are chronological.
An alphabetical index is located at the beginning of the record book. Incorporation record books were first scheduled as permanent records in 1978. The record book was microfilmed in April 1990. This entire series was archivally processed by David Clark in May 1996. The hard copy of the volume was transferred to the Archives in January 2001.
