The County Record Center's mission is to preserve, organize, and provide access to the county's historical and legal records, ensuring that they are securely stored and made available to the public for research, legal, and historical purposes.
We manage inactive department records, court documents, and other records with a commitment to compliance, transparency, and efficient record retention and disposal practices. Through careful preservation and digitization efforts, we aim to provide future generations with access to vital records while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive information.
