Thank you to Chris Landis and the staff of the Blackford County Recorder's office!
We are proud to announce that Blackford County and their Recorder, Chris Landis, have finished a scanning project that will provide access to even more Historical General Index Books! These indexes cover the years from 1967-1997 and are available on Doxpop here: https://www.doxpop.com/prod/in/recorder/ManualIndex/18180
It is always exciting to provide more access to public records. Having these original historical indexes scanned and available online will protect the original records while allowing our team to make them available for browsing online. To see all scanned indexes available through Doxpop, navigate to the "recorded document" tab, and choose any county from the "View Historical Indexes" box located below the recorded documents search box.
A major motivation for putting the old book indexes online is ensure everyone is able to utilize these historical indexes after hours and on the weekend. With these records always available, you will be able to look through them just as you would in the office.
To browse the scanned indexes, select the type of index you want to view, then select a year range or book label. You will find each book broken down by first letter of last name, which will open to the pages you'd like to view. When you find the Book & Page you'd like to view, you may enter that into the search area in the upper right corner of your viewing window. This will direct you to a search result for that record so that you can find the correct image for the document you need.
Again, we want to send thanks and appreciation to Recorder Chris Landis and Chief Deputy Kelli Schriver for all of their work on this project.
