This includes agendas, minutes, reports, resolutions, County Ordinances, Interlocal Agreements between county and various municipalities, and copies of each official election canvass. There are also complete minutes of the caucus meetings of the majority party beginning in 2008. The records span from 1970 (the beginning of the Board of Commissioners) to present.<br /></p><p style='padding: 0px 0px 0.1px; line-height: 22px; color: rgb(40, 40, 40); font-family: &quot;open sans&quot;, &quot;helvetica neue&quot;, helvetica-neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(249, 249, 249);'>The records are not merely chronologically scanned copies. They are also searchable by keyword, making the process transparent. While the information has always been public record, to this point searching for it required someone to come to the County Courthouse and physically search through the paper records, which were stored in old boxes.</p>

开放奥克兰（Open Oakland）文档搜索网站收录了各类奥克兰县官方文件，涵盖会议议程、会议纪要、工作报告、决议案、县条例、县与各市政当局签订的跨区域合作协议（Interlocal Agreements），以及每一次官方选举计票结果（election canvass）的副本。该平台同时收录了2008年以来多数党党团会议的完整会议纪要，所有档案的时间跨度为1970年（奥克兰县专员委员会成立之年）至今。
这批档案并非仅为按时间顺序整理的扫描副本，还支持关键词检索，使信息检索过程公开透明。尽管这些信息始终属于法定公开档案，但在此之前，民众需亲自前往奥克兰县法院，在存放于旧档案盒中的纸质档案中手工检索，方可获取所需内容。
