The roots of Warren County's Records Management Program are easily traced.  From the purchase of a microfilm camera in 1950 to the opening of the Records Storage Center in 1963, officials held true to their intent to positively meet the responsibilities associated with the care, protection and preservation of the public record.

Our current program, rededicated in 1990 with full-time
staffing, is fortunate to have had a strong foundation on
which to build.  Today's facilities now include:

Records Storage Center I & II - Two fire-resistant, secure vaults with capacity for 8500 cf of records.

Information Center...New in 1996!  Full-service for patron access, research and reference. Equipped with computer stations, microfilm reader-printers, computerized and manual indexes,  Internet access, copier and fax!

Disposition Center...For processing, shredding, recycling of obsolete records. A confidential and environmentally-sensitive program!

Archival Supply Room... An asset for our Conservation and Preservation Program

Administrative Office...For the behind-the-scenes duties of the entire operation!

In addition to our own local support, the above efforts have been fully supported and encouraged by the New York State Archives and Records Administration and its Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund. Since 1991, Warren County has been the recipient of over $ 455,000 in funding to address our records management needs.  Among these have been a completed inventory of all county records, the establishment of a comprehensive microfilming program for court records, and the  development of database resources to facilitate public access to records.  And, last but far from least, we are most proud of our  successful archives management program which has had as it's focus the arrangement, cataloging, and preservation of permanent, archival records dating from late 1700's to the present.  We invite you to "click" on our Archival and Map Collection pages! These are a direct result of our special grant-funded projects as well as our long-term records management commitment.  Enjoy!
