| Historical Background |
In 1993, the Warren County Clerk's Office began an aggressive
microfilming program which saw the conversion of all Civil Action
Case Files created as of 1917 (Case # 1 and continuing) to
microfilm. The program was designed for improved space management,
security to the record, and more efficient retrieval. While the
official copy of record for all Civil Actions c. 1917 to present is
the microfilm format, the series designated as "Civil Actions
- Highway" actually represents the paper copy of highway-related
actions. The paper has been retained as part of the archival
project entitled: "Warren County Public Works: An Interdepartmental
Approach to Archival Research." Further retention of the paper copy
and its usefulness for historical research will be evaluated in the
future.
