Public Records Researcher

Public Records Research is a craft in which the journeyman skill level can only be achieved through years of work in the field. There is no crash course or book that can provide adequate preparation. The availability of public records information varies tremendously from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, new laws are continually impacting the availability of information, and methods of retrieval are in flux, as more and more data becomes available online.

However, with thorough preparation, mentoring relationships with more experienced researchers and unremitting hard work, it is possible to make a good income and to engage in work that is extremely interesting and personally rewarding. The qualities that generally characterize successful public records researchers are good analytical skills, attention to detail, well-developed problem-solving abilities, and intuition.

Public Records Retrieval

No more than 35% of public records are available online. Therefore, manual retrieval of records is an integral part of public records research. Records retrieval is a good way to "break into" the field of public records research.
