While the Board of Prisoner series holds less personal information on individuals than the Register of Prisoner volumes, they do provide basic information to cover the 1900-1911 gap. By using the date and the booking number in the indices a name can be located in the Board of Prisoner volumes that are also in chronological sequence. The annual index volumes list prisoner names alphabetically however, if the year of incarceration is not known, each index volume will have to be examined to locate a prisoner by name. The Register of Prisoner series has corresponding index volumes including indexes that cover the 1900-1911 gap in the record. There are three Register of Prisoners volumes for the city of Virginia at the end of the registers list. The list of volumes indicates when a volume holds all three prisoner categories or ONLY city or county or federal prisoners. Louis County Jail also held city of Duluth, federal, and nearby counties' prisoners. The volumes are monthly lists of all persons confined in the county jail during the identified month. There is one inconsistent volume like a Register of Prisoners: it is for Hibbing, Minnesota titled Jail Records of County Prisoners, Hibbing Village Jail (April 1890-March 1917). The Register of Prisoners covers May 1890-1900, 1911- 1989, and Board of Prisoners covers April 1899 - October 1960. The collection consists of one file of a few loose pages, one volume titled Prison Calendar (June 1871-April 1890) and two record series in bound volumes: Register of Prisoners and Board of Prisoners.
