Does anybody happen to know how far back in time the records have been digitized?

@Laura_L, it may depend which site you use for your search. The site referenced from the county clerk webpage [http://liveweb.leacounty-nm.org/](http://liveweb.leacounty-nm.org/), doesn’t really give scanned images, but you can do a digital grantor/grantee search back to 1966 or so. The handwritten indexes are scanned back to when the county was formed (1917), and I was able to find references to deeds from the 1940s that I was looking for using the scanned indexes.
