buildings and 9 secondary storage sites.

but the majority of these
are held by Probate Court. Birth and death records are in the Probate Court

Ask us and we will refer you to the appropriate department.
- Are there more records to transfer into the Records Center?

The Archives to clear primary office space.

County Commissioners on January 11, 1996. We began transferring records
on May 6, 1996. The Archives is fully funded by the County

historical records.
