October marks American Archives Month and the County of San Diego, along with the Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk (ARCC) East County Branch Office and Archives located in Santee, are joining in the celebration.
Throughout American Archives Month, repositories across the nation emphasize the significance of records with enduring value. These valuable documents encompass maps, deeds, historical birth, marriage and death certificates, as well as various official records dating back to 1850.
For preservation purposes, microfilm stands as the preferred format, boasting an impressive shelf-life of approximately 500 years when stored under suitable conditions. Currently, the ARCC’s collection has a substantial 51,622 microfilm rolls.
To commemorate the month, ARCC’s expert archivists who manage the central repository and facilitate public access to invaluable historical records cordially extends and invitation for you to come and explore the facilities.
You can engage in research and peruse publicly accessible documents, either through digital means or by arranging an appointment, contingent on the documents’ physical condition.
ARCC has two big events taking place on Wednesday, Oct. 25 that all are welcome to join that include a “Reading Room Naming” ribbon-cutting ceremony and an “Open House” where people can drop by to view a small exhibit, ask questions, or participate in scheduled tours.
