Union Title Insurance and Trust Company had its roots in 1875 when William Gregg founded an abstract business to house indexed records he had researched as San Diego County Recorder. In 1886, John F. Forward, his wife and five children moved from Pittsburgh to San Diego, where he became the San Diego County Recorder from 1893-1906. The Forwards were a pioneer family that left a legacy for San Diego. In 1947, Frank Forward began amassing a historical photography collection and in 1979, the Forward Family donated approximately 140,600 images to the San Diego History Center. After World War II, the company began preserving records by microfilming them and storing them in a vault in Imperial Valley. The preservation of records became an extension of the photograph collection. Many of the surviving original and copied documents were also donated to the San Diego History Center. In exceptionally good condition.
