Yes. We are currently color-scanning our land patent files. The Secretary of State is charged with the security and preservation of all land patent records. By color-scanning each document, front and back, we are capturing (and preserving) the record in its exact form. In June 2004, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson transferred scanned images of 8241 County Court Order Patent files (or 33,392 pages in black & white format) to the County Court Order website.
