Yesterday
we talked about an almost super human volunteer! Today we’ll talk about “a man who makes a
different every day” as described in To
Preserve and Protect Harris County’s Historic Court Records by David Furlow on the Houston Bar
Association Appellate Lawyer blog.
As Team
Leader of Harris County District Clerk Chris Daniel’s Historical Documents
Records Center, Francisco Heredia ensures that the record of Harris County’s
rich legal heritage is preserved, protected and easily accessible to lawyers,
judges, justices, historians and members of the public. Anyone interested in
seeing an important part of Texas legal
history can examine these records in Room 200 of the Harris County
Civil Courthouse.
Read this article to learn all about
what Francisco Heredia and several others done to both preserve and provide
better access to Harris
County ’s heritage.
You can directly access the Harris
County District Clerk Chris Daniel’s Historical
Documents Records
Center here and you can search the records and
documents via this interface.
Do you know
of a person like Francisco who has gone above and beyond in his job to ensure
the preservation, protection and access of the community to invaluable
documents?
Editor’s Note: I ran into a few issues when trying to search the
historical records beyond the naturalization records and it would be an
understatement to say that my web browsers (both Internet Explorer and Google
Chrome) have never malfunctioned on a website!
