Arizona Genealogy Resources

An overview of the physical and digital genealogy resources from the State of Arizona Research Library and the Arizona State Archives.

Brand Books

Brand books were published by different state agencies over the  years: Live Stock Sanitary Board of Arizona, Arizona Livestock Board, and Arizona Department of Agriculture. They contain the brands and marks on cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, and more.

The Research Library and the Archives hold slightly different Brand Book records. You can find more information about the Research Library's Brand Book holdings at this link.

For brand information prior to 1897, check with the county recorder's office.
