Oaths of office and bonds, 1817-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122441687

The oaths of office are written out and subscribed to by the official taking it and certified by the official administering the oath. Section 279 of the Constitution of Ala. prescribes the oath to be taken by members of the legislature and all executive and judicial officers. Included are oaths of office taken by such officials as the Governor, Supreme Court justices, justices of the Court of Civil or Criminal Appeals, Auditor, Treasurer, and Attorney General. The Bonds are surety bonds which have been filed by elected and appointed state, county and local officials on the condition that they shall faithfully perform all duties of the office upon forefeiture of the bond for failure to do so. State law requires the filing of a bond prior to receiving a commission, within forty days of election or appointment. The bonds are in loose form and at a future date they need to be compared with the bond books. The bond includes such information as the name of the bonding agency, name of the official, office held, date, and amount of bond. Also included are correspondence files relating to oaths and bonds. At a future date, the oaths of office and the bonds need to be separated into separate series, and bonds will be compared to the entries in the bond books. See also ALAV86-A315 and ALAV86-A320.
