Comments

In the circuit clerk's office imaging for three years of any document filed. In the County Clerk's office, internal imaging started in July 2001 (do daily records then past). Index in-house, kept hard drive, not cut to CDs, just backup. Note under Sheriff's office for photocopying done to provide backup copies: Check, committee records, and bank statement.
