We house court records of historical and judicial significance since Porter County, Indiana was established in 1836. Our records are maintained to help preserve the outcome of court decisions made over the decades. Our record index is available to the public to search by name, case type, or year. The public can provide our staff with the index details to make a records request. We are diligently working on our digitization project to help expand the online index for public access. We offer a wide range of cases. They are perfect for those interested in Porter County history, family genealogy, and criminal trials. The archives also hold several cases related to the early railway expansion and more!
