Summary:     This series contains listings of companies that provided goods or services connected with canals, gas, railroads, streetcars, steamships, and telephone or telegraph lines from 1832 to 1901. These lists serve as indexes to the charters of these institutions.
    The charters may be found in either the "Laws of Florida" or in "McClellan's Digest" by the citations that follow the entries.  Most citations provide the year of charter issuance, although some do not.  In those instances the key is found in the chapter number. Prior to 1957, the chapter numbers were sequential, and therefore a higher chapter number indicates a later date for the issuance, or amending, of a particular charter.
    The series contains two volumes of handwritten indexes, a scrap of an index, and a partial typescript of an index from A through K.
