Philadelphia Conveyancers' Association

The Philadelphia Conveyancers' Association, more formally called the Conveyancers' Association of the City of Philadelphia, was a professional association of full-time conveyancers based in Philadelphia. The Association formed in 1870, was formerly chartered by the state in 1871, and was active until at least 1875. The stated purpose of the association was to attempt to elevate the profession of conveyancing, which had been steadily developing into a large profession in the city during the course of the 19th century. One of their earliest mentions is in an Ordinance of the City of Philadelphia allowing members of the Association to access the Recorder of Deeds office free of charge. Several of its members were active in the formation of some of the nation's first title insurance companies.
