For more detail about county office holdings, see the County Records Survey, Record Series Inventory, 1985'86, available on microfiche from the state archives, although Philadelphia is not included, and Monroe County follows Montgomery out of alphabetical sequence. A number of other county archives are underway at various stages throughout Pennsylvania. The first county archives was established in Chester County in 1982 and is considered the model for the Commonwealth. John Daly compiled a Descriptive Inventory to its holdings in 1970. In 1952 an archives was started in Philadelphia, the oldest city archives in the country. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is comprised of sixty-seven counties and here may be found records of land, estates, taxes, vital records, divorces, naturalizations, voter registration, court records, and so forth. The township is the basic political unit in the county and may have within its boundaries incorporated towns, boroughs, and cities, although these would have their own local governments.
