State Land Deeds

All deeds of conveyance to the state of any lands, after recording at the county level, are sent to the Secretary of State for retention. These deeds are the largest record series filed in the Great Seal vault and necessitate the fireproof storage required.

Department of Natural Resources deeds represent well over half of the entire collection, followed by the Department of Transportation, University holdings and other State departments.
