A Glimpse of Lassen County Archives From the Past

Lassen County Archives, 5 December 1980

When I first undertook my research, the late Dr. Robert Amesbury informed me that the old county records had been destroyed  in a fire when the courthouse burnt down. Au contraire, that event did not happen.

My informal office in the archive room of the Lassen County Clerk’s Office.

The records were intact dating back into the late 1850s. The bulk of records were located in two offices-Auditor/Recorded and County Clerk. My education was now starting as there  were terms that were foreign to me. The staff of the two offices and were patience with me explaining all intricacies.

Over years changes were happening. The bulk of the original documents are now in storage.
