What kinds of records are in the County Archives?
The County Archives has historical County government records dating from 1852 to the late 1990's. A sample of these records includes territorial records such as minutes, correspondence, and ledgers from various County offices such as the Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer, and the Territorial Selectmen. More contemporary records include annual reports, building permits, property appraisal cards, photographs, tax ledgers, Board of Health minutes, and minutes and correspondence from the Board of County Commissioners. For specific information on records holdings contact the County Archives directly.
