            [history] => 
From 1892, under the Land for Settlements Acts, the land taken up by large pastoral estates was broken up into smaller lots to allow individuals of more modest means access to land. These prospectuses usually include the description of the land for sale, photographs and maps showing the location of the land.
This land was made available for sale or letting under different tenures, such as deferred payment licenses, leases in perpetuity, small grazing runs, renewable leases, etc.   
Some freehold land was also acquired, through the Otago Land Purchase Board, and sold to the Government for later sub-division. Series 9462 contains the fair Minutes of the Otago Land Purchase Board. 
Former archives reference:
The arrangement of these records into series was done by the Hocken Library, using the 'record group' finding aid system. These records were assigned series number AG220/28 by Hocken Library.
