Records of the Society for Equitable Assurances on Lives and Survivorships, later known as the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The records comprise: minutes 1834-1951, and indexes 1830-89 (Ms 38646-52; financial records, 1831-1972 (Ms 38653-62); policy records, 1803-1976 (Ms 38663-76); correspondence, 1833-61 (Ms 38677); and policy forms and other operational records, [1870]-1931 (Ms 38678-85).
A note at the front of the policy registers states that up to 1891 (policy number 13787), details of policies were entered in five books: policy ledgers; dockets (Ms 38667); ticket books; registers of notices of assignment (Ms 38668); and policy loan ledgers.
In 1908, new policy registers were compiled for all the policies up to number 13787 which were still in force (Ms 38664). These new registers contain all the information for each policy on a single page.
Ms 38664/3-5 are held as a deposit from Equitable Life and enquiries relating to access to these items should be addressed to Equitable Life.
