            [authenticityNote] => This series description was compiled as part of a project to capture the finding aids created prior to 1987 into the GAIMS system. These records were transferred by the Department of Lands and Survey, Dunedin District Office, DAAK, to the Hocken Library between 1976 and 1983. The grouping of these records into series was done by Hocken Library. Hocken Library was the approved repository for Archives New Zealand until 1993. The end date for series relationship with DAAK is taken to be 1983.

            [history] => 
The Correspondence in this series relates to applications, addressed to and replies from the Otago Waste Land Board (later the Otago Land Board), for various types of tenures; in particular applications to freehold land held under lease, transfers of tenures, surrenders of leases, exchanges of land, etc. 
The correspondence records the applicants details, the legal description of the land under tenure and the request to the Land Board to consider the application to freehold, etc., and whether the application was successful or not. Before some applications were accepted, the Land Board would require a Ranger to inspect the property under lease and to confirm the value of the improvements to the land and compliance with any other conditions of the tenure. Some applications were accompanied by payments to the Receiver of Land Revenue. They may include an instruction to issue a provisional title and probably later a certificate of title (Series 9197). Provisional Titles are still held by Land Information New Zealand
The Registers and Indexes to this Correspondence are essential tools for researching this Correspondence (Series 9362 and 9363).
