People for Better Pennsylvania Historical Records Access (PaHR-Access)
NEWS and PROGRESS REPORT
- Alphabetical List of Organizational Endorsements
Chronological Listing:
January 1, 2019 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1968 and birth certificates from 1913 are now open records and will be available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg. No word on whether these records will also be scanned and made available online. Ancestry's low standards of data extraction continue to be a problem as a considerable percentage of the records are poorly indexed with monstrous mistakes ranging from giving fictional birth places like Freland (instead of Ireland) to the misindexing of, for instance, Joseph M Gilmore as Gosekbe Gieman.
January 31, 2018 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1965 and 1966 are now available online at Ancestry.com.
January 1, 2018 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1967 and birth certificates from 1912 are now open records and will be available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg.
January 1, 2017 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1966 and birth certificates from 1911 are now open records and available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg.
November 1, 2016 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1964 are now available online at Ancestry.com.
January 1, 2016 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1965 and birth certificates from 1910 are now open records and available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg.
March 18, 2015 - Pennsylvania state birth certificates from 1906 to 1908 are now available on Ancestry.com. Although it's not very much it is a bonus. Keep in mind that many of these birth records are loaded with mistakes and omissions. Quite often the child's given name was not recorded or the name listed was not the name the family used (perhaps the parents changed their minds or the person filling in the certificate misunderstood the parents intensions). Then there are the mountain of mistakes Ancestry made in indexing the records. Aside from innumerable incidences of simply misreading the records by Ancestry there are also quite a few incidences of Ancestry leaving information out of the index such as parts of names and locations. So don't be surprised if you have trouble finding the person you are looking for even when you have an exact date and place of birth. Unfortunately Ancestry only allows customers to suggest changes to the information pertaining to the child.
January 1, 2015 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1964 and birth certificates from 1909 are now open records and available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg.
October 24, 2014 - Ancestry.com has put the third batch of death records online (1945-1963). This is the overall schedule:
Pennsylvania residents (and only Pennsylvania residents) have free access to this particular database as they do with other Pennsylvania States Archives records already scanned and made available online by Ancestry. Access for Pennsylvania residents is accomplished by registering online through this link: http://www.portal.state.pa.us/. Out of state residents do need a subscription to Ancestry to access these records. However, many libraries and research centers everywhere provide free access to Ancestry.
Keep in mind that many names are misspelled on the original certificates and mistakes in indexing (most especially on Ancestry) are to be absolutely expected. So if you don't find who you are looking for keep looking.
January 1, 2014 - Pennsylvania state death certificates from 1963 and birth certificates from 1908 are now open records and available at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg. However, these records are slated to be scanned by Ancestry.com shortly so they won't be available at the Archives while they are being scanned.
June 28, 2013 - As of July 1, 2013 the PA Department of Health no longer provides non-certified copies of birth and death certificates (that are open records). That responsibility will be handled by the Pennsylvania State Archives. However, the Archives will charge $5 for each non certificated copy rather than $3 charged by the Department of Health. Hopefully when Ancestry.com finally has the records online it will dramatically increase access and drastically reduce the cost to most researchers.
January 1, 2013 - Pennsylvania state birth certificates from 1907 and death certificates from 1962 are now open records and are available at the Pennsylvania State Archives.
