The Archives facility itself is not open to the public, however, you may contact the Clerk’s Office to make a public records request.

Most records are able to be viewed by submitting a public records request. Estate files and wills from the Probate Court division can also document family history and provide links to ancestors. Records held in the Vanderburgh County Archives document the rights of citizens, the actions of the government, and important events in the lives of people. The Archive exists to serve the Public, Court, Judge’s Staff, Federal, State, and Local Government, Students, Scholars, and Genealogists. Over 1 million records provide glimpses of Vanderburgh County’s past. The function of the Archive is to preserve the Court’s history, which began when the county was founded in 1818. The Clerk’s Archive is a vital aspect of the duties of the County Clerk.
