County of Bucks

The Bucks County Recorder of Deeds will conserve 61 miscellaneous (non-deed) record books dating as early as 1785 that include information regarding chattel, emancipation of slaves, marriages, court orders, decrees, charters and constitutions of churches, agreements, bonds, military discharges, bills of sale, dower release, powers of attorney, and releases of executors and of guardians. Conservation treatment to stabilize, deacidify, and rebind these records will make them available for researchers, genealogists, educators, and local administrators. Plans are also being developed for a "book tour" to other local historical sites.
