You have the statutory duty to protect and preserve your town's vital records books and related materials. Since they are public records open to Connecticut genealogists, you must have a way of making sure the records all remain in your possession and control. If a person tried to walk out of your office with a document they claimed was theirs, how could you prove it wasn’t? Please provide whatever lists you have of what you secure in your vault.
Thank You,
Linda MacLachlan

Your office sent such a list titled “Original Town Records Survey, Pre-1820” to the Connecticut State Library’s History and Genealogy Section a century ago. Though I would prefer an update, I will accept a copy of that for starters
