Keeping the record of the official acts of the legislature was a duty assigned to the Secretary's office by the Organic Act which created Utah's government in 1850. Usually what has been recorded in the journals is an exact copy of what was finally published as the Laws of Utah after each legislative session. After statehood in 1896\, a copy of the published version was pasted into the journals rather than a handwritten copy. Other miscellaneous information pertaining to the laws were noted between 1852 and 1855 as well. After 1911\, separate journals were no longer kept\, although final copies of all legislation passed continued to be kept on file by the Secretary of State.",,Public,6.50 cubic feet 10 microfilm reels
