This collection comprises a portion of Series I and the entirety of Series III from the Records of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Montgomery County, which was founded in 1848 by Edward Stabler of Sandy Spring, Maryland. This collection contains property insurance policies taken out with the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Sandy Spring, Maryland, 1848-1901. The full collection is held by the Jane Sween Research Library and Special Collections and described here: Records of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company

Series I consists of insurance policy paperwork on personal property (dwellings, barns, outbuildings, tenant houses, furniture, livestock, etc.) Documents include applications, proof of insurance, increases, transfers, correspondence and lists of personal property. The material is organized in policy number order, which at times generally reflects, but does not necessarily correspond to chronological order. Policy numbers are not comprehensively represented; the documents searchable here represent all documents extant in Series I, boxes 1-10, comprising policies activated from 1848-1900, with some individual documents dating into the 1920s and 30s.

Series III consists of insurance policies taken out by the Montgomery County Board of Education for its school buildings between 1883 and 1917. Policies from both White and Black schoolhouses within the then-segregated system are represented.

The collection is organized by policy number, with searchability on name of policy-holder, location of property, title of property (if known), and date range of the life of each policy.
