- Custodial History:
- In 1659, the Office of the Island Secretary was established in Spanish Town, also known then as St. Jago de la Vega. This office, specifically the Secretary’s Office of enrolments, served as the repository for all official documents related not only to government acts and pronouncements but also to notarised and civil documents filed by the free population of Jamaica, which then comprised of Europeans and some mixed-race and black people. Examples of notarised and civil documents deposited at the Island Secretary’s office include: property deeds, land patents, slave manumissions, wills and last testaments.
