What this is
Twenty-six towns, villages and one city make up the Southtowns. Each posts its board records on its own website, in its own format, and most of them get little regular news coverage. Southtowns Record gathers those public documents into a single archive that anyone can search by town or by topic.
It is nonpartisan and neutral. Records are shown as their publishers posted them, with a link back to the original. We don't endorse candidates or take positions on local questions.
How records are collected
- Only documents a government has already published online are collected.
- Our collector identifies itself as
SouthtownsRecord, makes at most one request per second to any website, and does not get around access controls. - Every original file is kept unchanged. If a document is later replaced, both versions are kept.
- Scanned documents are converted to searchable text so they can be read by screen readers and found by search.
