FilioScotia Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I thought I would share this news with the HAIF District Clerk Charles Bacarisse opens Historic Document Reading Room Harris County District Clerk Charles Bacarisse has opened the Historic Document Reading Room to the public. The Reading Room will hold as many as 832 books, Civil and Criminal indices, court minutes, fee dockets and execution dockets dating from 1837 through 1925, as well as about 13,000 boxed civil case files ranging from 1837 to 1888. It amounts to only a tiny fraction of the thousands and thousands of official documents Bacarisse has been restoring and preserving, since he found them rotting away in a warehouse after he took office in 1995. He says more documents will be added to the Reading Room collection as soon as they can be made ready. Bacarisse, The Honorable James A. Baker III and John Nau, Chair of the Texas Historical Commission, were on hand to cut the ribbon to celebrate the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
