The Historical Society of Palm Beach County's mission is to collect, preserve and share the history of Palm Beach County. The Society maintains a large library on the history of Palm Beach County, Florida and the Caribbean. The Society's archives, which include nearly two million photographic images, maps, newspapers, journals, periodicals, architectural drawings, and research files, maintain an active research facility.
The Official Record consists of a searchable computerized index and links to digital images of documents dating back to 1968 (marriage license listings [listings only - no images] date back to 1909). Official Records include court judgments, deeds, liens, marriage licenses, mortgages, plats and tax deeds.
As of June 5, 2002, the law requires that documents of certain types, not be placed on a publicly available Internet Web site.
