As the Clerk of Civil District Court for Orleans Parish, I have the responsibility of preserving historical documents and records that date back to the 1700s. In addition to the crucial task of preservation, my office is also responsible for providing public access to our diverse collection of records.

Our collection offers a wide variety of research opportunities. Researchers from across the country have utilized our archives to uncover countless stories pertaining to property histories, family histories, architectural history, the history of New Orleans itself, and so much more.

I encourage you to come by the Clerk of Civil District Court’s office or plan a tour with us so you too can discover what our spectacular collection of historical records has to offer. It would be our pleasure to help you uncover a story that fits your own interests

About the Clerk of Civil District Court’s Office for the Parish of Orleans

The Clerk’s Office consists of two divisions-Land Records and Civil. Our Civil Division is where civil cases, such as personal injury, accidents, successions and foreclosures, are filed. Domestic matters, such as divorce and child support, are also handled in the Civil Division.

The Land Records Division is where documents regarding property are recorded. Documents regarding changes in ownership, sales, donations, as well as mortgages, liens, and encumbrances, are recorded in our Land Records Division

The Notarial Archives Research Center is located in our Land Records Division. These documents, which date back to the 1700’s represent the rich history of New Orleans. The archives can be used for property, genealogical, architectural and landscaping research, among other subjects.
