Digitizing Boone County Records

At the Boone County Recorder’s Office, a large-scale digitizing effort is taking place to preserve the county’s record books. The books date back to 1855 and contain real estate records and other addendums that people can access to see the change in ownership for all land in the county of Boone and other vital records. Chris Duncan, the Boone County recorder since 2019, continued the project after the previous Recorder left. Archisearch (a digital archiving service based in Minnesota) helps preserve the handwritten calligraphy and fragile pages.
