Ever wondered who once owned your land—or how property boundaries have changed over time? Join us for a workshop exploring the Cortland County Clerk’s online land records system. Discover how to access free public documents from the comfort of your home, from recent filings to historic Deeds and Mortgages dating back to 1808, when the county was first incorporated.

Cortland County Clerk Brooke Kemak will guide you step-by-step through the process of searching both modern and historic records, helping you understand how the digital system mirrors the original record books. Whether you’re a genealogist, a local historian, or simply curious about your own property, this workshop will give you the tools to uncover stories hidden in the county’s land archives.
