Colorado State Archives
What's New
These web pages have been added to our site or
significantly modified to improve public access to Colorado's archival
records:
- September 24, 2007 - We have added more than 5,000
records to our database with the inclusion of Arapahoe County
probate cases from 1902-1957.
- August 3, 2007- We have added more than 80,000 names to
our
Historical Records Database and
will soon be adding another 80,000. The names come from the divorce
index that was compiled in the 1930s and 40s and spans as early as
the 1870s to 1939. This index is available on microfilm and used to
be available on-line through the Colorado Department of Health,
Vital Records. A volunteer at the Archives extracted information
from this index such as names, date, the court the case was filed in
and the case number which is what we have loaded onto our database.
What has been loaded as of now is the entire index A-Z by
"plaintiff." We will also be loading the index by "defendant." Since
both the plaintiff and defendant usually had the same last name, it
should be relatively easy to find your "people". The Archives has in
its custody many of the divorce cases referred to in the index but
there are counties for which we have no court cases from that time
period. Please see the
Records Description for "Divorce
Records" in order to see if we are likely to have the case file in
our custody.
- April 20, 2007 - We have added almost 30,000 Teacher
Experience records to our
Historical Records Database. These
cards contain a great deal of information about the teachers listed
including where they got their degrees, how long and where they
taught, grades or subjects taught, total years of teaching
experience, teacher certificate information and their Oath of
Allegiance. These cards do not include Denver and each county may
have different years listed. While the complete index spans
1899-1958, some counties will not include cards for some years.
- Between January and April, 2007 we have added numerous indexes
on the Historical
Records Database including: Bar Admission Files
(1899-1950); Mesa County Motor Vehicle Licenses 1913-1917;
Spanish-American War Colorado Volunteers (1898-1899); Docked Horse
Register (1899-1907); Master and Journeyman Horseshoers (1897-1920);
Rio Grande County Teacher Certificate Applications (1874 -1893);
Gilpin County District Court Filings (1874 -1882); Dolores County
Court Cases (1881 - 1953); Denver War Risk Insurance Applications
(1914 -1917). By April 20 we had 343,681 entries in the database.
- Between January and April, 2007 we have added numerous digital
documents to our
digital records collection including:
Cool
Letterheads from schools,
hotels, old Colorado towns and railroads; an early plat of
Creede,
Colorado; transcripts from the
Alfred Packer Supreme Court Case.
We have over 150 images on our digital site and are adding more
frequently.
- February, 2007 - The
Executive Orders by Governor Owens
are now on-line and we will be putting up press releases from his
terms of office soon.
