February 21, 2019 – Lake County Recorder Becky Lynch Preserves Records!
For Immediate Release: Lake County Ohio; Painesville
The Lake County Recorder keeps the important land records of Lake County safe and in accessible condition for all who need them. Beginning from 1840, Lake County land records prove property ownership. When Recorder Becky Lynch saw that certain records were showing severe wear and tear, she decided to contract the Kofile Laboratories to bring these historic and necessary records back to life! Finally our Lease Indexes have returned to their home on the shelves in the County Land Records Room. These records went to the restoration lab as four books and came back as five! Lease Index Volume 4 pictured below, is now Volume 4-Firms and Volume 4-Individuals. The restoration process to preserve these records took several months. The Records Commission established new policy for the process and thankfully the information contained in these historic and critical Lake County land records has been saved. The time and effort was well worth it at a project cost of $8,764.00. Many thanks to our great staff for working with all of our customers to help during the transition time. Index-To-Leases 1A, 2, 3, and 4-Firms, 4-Individuals, are now beautifully preserved and in much more stable condition to stand the test of time for all the future customers of the Lake County Recorder Office. Please contact Becky Lynch for more information.
