Alaska is a [[Public-Domain State]].

The First Organic Act of 1884 extended the laws of Oregon to Alaska only “so far as [they] may be applicable.” Alaska became public domain, and unclaimed land was surveyed by the federal government and sold. Land offices were established at Sitka in 1885, Juneau in 1902, and Nome in 1907.

A person could obtain a title to a tract of public land only after it had been surveyed. After an individual obtained a certificate of title, a patent was issued. Copies of these are in patent books in the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Washington, D.C. (see page 6).

Records for the land offices of Juneau, Nome, and Sitka include cash entries, homestead final certificates, canceled homestead entries, and canceled Indian allotments. The BLM in Washington, D.C., has these records as well as an index to the cash entry files for Alaska.

Patents, tract books, and township plats are on file at the BLM, 222 W. 7th Ave. #13, Anchorage, AK 99513-7599 <www.ak.blm.gov/blmaso.html>.
