Historical Records Home Page, Prior to 2002

Welcome to the County of Historical Records Home Page.

The Clerk of the Board’s Office is responsible for the custody of official records for the County of Monterey. Our goal is to provide prompt access to public records. This Historical Records Home Page is an online tool to help you discover history of the County of Monterey’s governmental policies and decisions. The databases offered include indexes to the County’s legislative records.

Records' Source
These records come from a legacy application that the Clerk’s office used for many years prior to 2002. It was an index system intended to help look up documents when requested and was not intended to be comprehensive. While some records may be incomplete, we hope this page can assist the public in their research.

Our office hopes you find this information valuable and that it can assist you in your research efforts. Additional information is available upon request. Please reach out to the Clerk of the Board’s office and include the index information you have found above.  

How To Use

You can find a reference for the File Key Index of the Board Minutes/Resolutions/Notes table here: FILE NUMBER KEY INDEX

When using this page, here are some guidelines to follow:

1. Make sure you choose the tab you are interested in.

2. Enter a search term in the Search field. You can search anything available in the table, from keywords to index numbers.

3. By default, tables only show the first 10 entries. You can increase the number of entries displayed or tab between pages.

4. The Clerk of the Board’s office can provide more information in most cases. Please provide what you’ve already found so we can locate the file quickly.

Please Note: These Records Are Not Official Copies

The information in these databases is to provide public access to these historical records and to help the Clerk of the Board’s Office locate the official copies of records you are interested in.
