Holdings: The Records Center has a storage capacity of over 20,000 cubic feet. The Reading Room offers patrons an opportunity to research county records in hard copy, electronic, and microfilm forms, and is next door to the Genealogical Society. They have births from 1867-1908; deaths 1867-1908; clerk of courts general index 1803-1978; probate court general index 1803-1936; marriage licenses/records 1803-1996; soldiers discharges 1865-1954; auditor’s tax list & duplicates various years; treasurer’s tax & duplicates various years and other miscellaneous records.

The “archives” is the repository for records generated in Warren County. As of April 2009 any record containing social security numbers is required to be removed on the copied record. You will need to contact that specific court to request those records to obtain a copy, as they are otherwise unavailable in the archives. This inventory list is subject to change and additional records may be available. Check with receptionist for availability. These are public records.
