Core Paper Records Project

March 2007 - Core Paper Records Information Paper

LINZ has released an information paper that updates you on the development of the strategy for managing core survey and title paper records in the future. The paper:

• provides background to this work
• looks at storage and preservation of original core survey and title paper records
• outlines ways to facilitate continued access to the records when public counters close on 1 July 2008.

The detailed solutions are still being developed, but the strategy will focus on delivering the following outcomes:

• Core survey and title paper records will be preserved for future generations. They will be stored according to Archives NZ standards to prevent deterioration of original records;
• Where necessary, access to view original paper records will be maintained for records that are not capable of being provided electronically;
• Electronic access to core survey and title land records will be enhanced. Electronic delivery of information provides benefits on many levels. It reduces paper handling and deterioration of originals and makes the information more widely available to any person with a computer (or access to one in a café or library).
