The Cape Girardeau County Archive Center, located in Jackson, Missouri, is home to some of the oldest records in the State of Missouri, dating back to the late 1790s. With over 4500 cubic feet of records available, the Archive Center preserves and provides access to a wide range of historical documents, including Missouri Territorial Records, Civil War documents, and more. Thanks to the efforts of Cape County Commissioners and County Clerk, the Archive Center was established in the 1990s to protect and store these valuable records. The modern storage facility, funded by the county and grants, ensures the preservation of records in multiple languages, such as English, German, and French, offering researchers a glimpse into the history of Cape Girardeau County from its founding to the twentieth century.Generated from the website
