As mentioned in a previous blog entry, we have been digitizing and uploading the Salt Lake County Land Title Certificates, 1851-1895 (bulk 1871-1873). An ongoing project, we have now made available all Land Title Certificates up through surnames starting with “P,” and are starting to upload records for surnames beginning with “R.”
The collection contains the Land Title Certificates granted to petitioners from 1871 to 1879 which finally provided federally recognized land title to the people of Salt Lake County. Although issued in the 1870s, these records can retroactively document land possession back to the 1850s.
Please check our Digital Archives for continuing online additions to this record series!
