Records of COUNTY GOVERNMENTS
(DIGITIZED MICROFILM COPIES)
There are 67 counties in Pennsylvania including the consolidated city-county
of Philadelphia, and each inhabitant of the state lives in and comes under the
jurisdiction of one of them. The largest population is Philadelphia with over
one and a half million people; the smallest is Forest with approximately five
thousand. The Constitution establishes a basic organization, but counties can
adopt their own form of government. Six counties have adopted home rule charters:
Philadelphia, Delaware, Erie, Lackawanna, and Northampton.
County Functions
Counties continue to serve in their traditional role as agents of the
state for law enforcement, judicial administration and the conduct of elections.
The county is also responsible for the property assessment function. Counties
become involved in regional planning, solid waste disposal and public health.
They perform welfare functions, including mental health. Counties also
can establish housing and redevelopment authorities and conduct community
development programs. Counties maintain hospitals and homes for the aged.
Counties may support local libraries and community colleges.
Legislation enacted in recent years has strengthened the policymaking
role of boards of county commissioners, granting them greater control of
and responsibility for county government. The geographic size of counties
enables them to cope with functions that can be better performed on an
area wide basis, that is, mass transportation and environmental protection.
County Government
County government, as provided for in the county codes, may be described
as a "no-executive" type. The chief governing body is the three
member board of county commissioners. But there are also numerous other
elected officials to a large extent independent of the county commissioners.
These include the sheriff, district attorney, prothonotary, clerk of courts,
register of wills, clerk of the orphans' court, coroner, recorder of deeds
and two jury commissioners whose duties are mostly concerned with the work
of the county court. Additionally, there are the elective offices of the
controller or three auditors and the treasurer who are county finance officers.
A public defender is appointed as provided by law. The county commissioners,
the elected officers and the county court individually or jointly appoint
a number of other county officials and employes needed to carry out county
functions by law.
Whereas the 11 elected county officials are enumerated in the Pennsylvania
Constitution, their powers and duties are prescribed by statutes which
are scattered throughout the county codes and general state laws. Consolidation
of certain elected offices is provided by state law in the smaller class
counties involving the offices of prothonotary, clerk of courts, register
of wills, clerk of the orphans' court, and recorder of deeds.
County records are grouped by office. Accompanying these listings are
statements of the date or dates of incorporation of each county, municipality,
and school district. The records of an annexed municipality, with the exception
of Allegheny City, are listed with those of the surviving jurisdiction.
Information concerning the number of digitized rolls in a records series
is usually given after the series title and date. In cases where more than
one series is filmed on a roll or group of rolls, the number of rolls involved
is given following the last series title of the group. Records actually
filmed by the State Archives and projects involving film duplicated by
the Archives, are followed by a local records project number. The designation
LR is used to indicate the fact that the State Archives created or owns
the master negatives. The designation LC is used to indicate that the Archives
only has user copies of negatives produced by the local government or by
another historical repository. The designation LA is used to indicate that
the Archives only has user copies of the negatives produced elsewhere but
that it holds the original paper records. A majority of the digitized rolls
listed were generated by the Genealogical Society of Utah and are not coded.
The following are digitized microfilm copies of county records available
at the State Archives. Archives staff cannot provide research in or copies
of these records. See County Governments for
additional records.
