The Pennsylvania State Archives has added over 300,000 images of land
records to the Web. (That's more than 31 gigs of data.) You can access
these new records at The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission's
Web site, at www.phmc.state.pa.us <outbind://117/www.phmc.state.pa.us>
. (That URL is a redirect that'll take you to portal.state.pa.us and a
much more complex URL.)

The additions include warrant registers (1733-1957), patent indexes
(1684-1957) and the Philadelphia Old Rights index. You can start your
search here; be sure to read the instructions because there are several
sets of documents you can search.

A lot of the available documents are in PDF format so make sure you've
got Adobe Acrobat reader.
