Licking County Records & Archives Blog

Construction materials being unloaded at the future site of  the Licking County Records & Archives Department Palmetto Construction employees have been steadily working for several weeks on our future building.  A lot of renovation has already been accomplished inside the former garages and workshops of the Maintenance Department, and work on extending the current building to the south has commenced. Trenches indicate where the new outer walls will be located. Our department hopes to move into the new facility early in 2018.  We will be consolidating many more county government collections in one location.  Hopefully this will make it a lot easier for the public to get access to county records.  We also will be more conveniently located near other downtown agencies.

Bill Markley had a rewarding and enjoyable time at the Homeschoolers' Resource Fair on August 7.  The Records & Archives Department presented a display at the event, along with several other local organizations.  The fair is held annually at the Spring Hills Baptist Church in Granville. Children, parents and grandparents visit displays at the 2017 Homeschoolers' Resource Fair Many homeschooling parents and children remarked on the beautiful cursive writing in our 19th-Century documents, and how some elementary schools today have stopped teaching cursive. Children and parents are welcome to visit the Records & Archives facility to work on educational projects, or to just explore through old county records.  Please call us first to arrange an appointment, at tel. 740-670-5121.
