NORWICH – Chenango County Clerk Mary C. Weidman has announced the completion of a project that digitized historical indexes and related real property record books for Internet access through the office’s existing website.

Two hundred forty-eight mortgage books and 400 deed books with over 507,160 records have been digitized and added to the search capacity on-line and within the clerk’s office at the Chenango County Office Building in Norwich.

Funds for converting historic files were made available through a competitive grant from the Local Government Records Management Information Fund.
