What death, marriage, birth and adoption records does the Historical Library have?
Idaho began recording deaths in 1907 at the county level; however, not all deaths were recorded. The deaths that were recorded can be found at the Historical Library in the individual county records on microfilm. (They can also be found at the County Recorder’s office in each county.) Beginning July 1, 1911 and continuing to the present, deaths have been recorded at the state level. The Historical Library does hold microfilm copies of death records, including an alphabetical index, covering the period from July 1, 1911 through 1932. There is also an unsorted selection of death certificates, without index, covering the period from 1933 through1937. Any death record after this date must obtained from the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Idaho did not require marriage licenses before March 11, 1895; however, many of the earlier marriages were recorded at the county level. These records can be found in the individual county records on microfilm at the Historical Library or at the County Recorde
