Records Center
The Athens County Records Center houses records for many of the County departments and elected officials throughout the County. We assist and advise the departments with the management, storage, retention and disposition of these records. Records are a vital resource for the County and are used on a daily basis. By law, we are required to maintain the records and make the accessible to the public (O.R.C. 149.43(B)(2)).
