Acts of the territorial legislature and acts of the legislature, 1822-1992.

This series contains the original acts, resolutions, and memorials of the Territorial Legislature (1822-1844) and State Legislature (1845-ongoing). The acts were filed with the Secretary of the Territory prior to 1845 and then with Secretary of State after statehood according to Chapter 15.07 F.S. The acts from 1822 to 1918 are all handwritten, while those since 1919 are typed. The series is separated into two subunits, hence the oddity in numbering. The years 1822-1918 are contained in oversized boxes and volumes which did not originally have numbers; from 1919 to the present the acts are contained in numbered volumes.
