Records of defunct local Granges consist primarily of minute and roll books and treasurers' accounts, but also include drill manuals, program books, bylaws, degree records, quarterly reports to the State Grange, certificates, and records of a few Junior Granges. The records of about half of these Granges extend, usually continuously, over a period of fifty years or more; about ten percent extend, usually continuously, from the 1870s or 1880s to the 1960s or 1970s.
