Plan Indices

In the past few weeks I have been asked a couple of time about our plan indices. You can search the plan back to 1933 on the computer back. Earlier information is kept on 3X5 index cards in the lower record hall. These cards are arranged in alphabetical order by Street name. There is a second set of cards listing plan owners alphabetically. Last year we tried to input the card information into the computer. It sounds simple but we ran into a technical problem. In order to make the plan images available a false index was created when the ACS system was installed. The new entry we added caused a second entry without overriding the first. One entry provided the image, the second the index information. I am sure it will not be long before this problem is solved.
