The Rhode Island Supreme Court Judicial Records Center (JRC) serves as the central repository for the State's semiactive, inactive, and archival court records. Current records that are still necessary for the daily operations of the courts remain stored at the clerk's office of the respective court. The Judicial Records Center offers reference services to the courts, the bar, and to members of the public who wish to do research in these public records.

Researchers interested in using the archival records (those dating from 1671 to 1900 and naturalization records) should view the Archives page. Those interested in more recent records should view our Policies & Procedures page.
