BBIC Sub-series 4. Property Records 1855-1943
Property records include Platted Land books of maps
displaying the division of New Whatcom land into blocks and lots
between 1884-1912, and show additions to neighborhoods including
the First Addition (1889) and Broadway Park addition (1906).
Many of these volumes document the transfer and sale of
individual lots, listing date of sale, name of buyer and
agreement or contract numbers. Agreement numbers
correspond to the contracts and agreements arranged in boxes
101-138. These contracts and agreements comprise packests
of numbered contracts and agreements - these can be accessed via
BBIC's Company's Platted Land Books (Volumes 140-145) or through
Land Sales records (Volumes 91-95). Volumes entitled
"Conveyances, Deeds and Agreements" comprise BBIC Land
Department letter book copies of property mortgage and sale
agreements. Researchers should note that these volumes are
fragile, and many of the copies of low quality.
