Subseries 1: Policy Books, 7-year and Perpetual, 1794-1972

Formally called Records of Policies, these large bound volumes describe the terms for each policy issued. Organized by policy number (and thus chronologically according to issue date), entries include name of insured, address and brief description of property, amount of coverage and amount of deposit. Entries were updated, somewhat roughly, to note changes in coverage, cancellations, and losses by fire. Records of Policies were indexed by name.
