Norfolk County Registry of Deeds Protecting and Preserving Land Records

Two public-access computer workstations sit on a blue countertop inside an office or records room. Each workstation includes a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. One monitor displays a website interface, while the other shows an image of a building with a sign in front. Behind the computers are rows of filing cabinets or record drawers and shelving units filled with documents. A hallway with doors and overhead lights extends into the background, creating a clean, organized workspace environment.

Protecting and preserving land records is one of the most important responsibilities entrusted to a Registry of Deeds. The Registry has implemented a variety of technologies, preservation initiatives, and business continuity measures designed to ensure that these records remain secure, accessible, and protected for future generations.
