> An article entitled "Computer System Preserves Records in Dale County" was

> information has been extracted from that article:
> Public records dating back to 1884 have been electronically preserved and
> made easily accessible in the Probate Office of Dale County Court House.
> Dale County was established in 1824, but all public documents accumulated
> during the next 60 years were lost when the courthouse burned in 1884.
> Records from 1884 through August 31, 1996 were kept in physical books for
> access by the public.
> Now thanks to SysCon, a computer and technology service provider in
> Northport, Ala, installed its PROMIS software for Dale County eight years
> ago when Probate Judge Eunice Hagler was chief clerk. Since that time, by
> using SysCon's conversion services, deeds dating back as far as 1884 have
> been converted to digital documents and are managed by PROMIS.
> Four computer work stations in the records room at the courthouse provide
> public access for anyone researching public documents.
> All of the deed records and marriage records have been scanned in.
> You might call Probate Judge Eunice Hagler for more information at
