However, these land records are rich in history. ____The Registry's "History Comes Alive" Program transcribed over 450,000 handwritten documents recorded between 1793 and 1900. This project transcribed the land records into easy-to-read text. Out of this project an interest in the stories behind the records developed. ____Attached are links to two Franklin pieces about Ben Franklin and the Franklin Library.
