Document reindexing that delivers

Cott Systems has served local governments for over 130 years, and more than half of land records across the US were at some point recorded in a Cott index book.

Cott Systems has been serving local governments for over 130 years. More than 50% of land records across the US were recorded in Cott index books at some point in the past. That history gives our reindexing team experience that’s hard to match elsewhere — in many cases, we created the original indexes.

Our staff will work with you to develop a reindexing plan that maximizes your investment and preserves the records entrusted to your care, keeping you informed every step of the way so the finished project meets your expectations.

You don’t have to reindex

Online Index Books makes it possible to search digital copies of your historical records online, without reindexing. It can be a lower-cost alternative that:

  • Digitizes your historical records without the cost, time, and potential liability of a full reindexing project
  • Provides a valuable service to your constituents, surveyors, and title companies
  • Helps protect and preserve your jurisdiction’s history
