            [authenticityNote] => This series description was compiled as part of a project to capture the finding aids created prior to 1987 into the GAIMS system.

The end date for series relationship with DAAK is taken to be 1983.

            [history] => 
Volume 1 is a ledger for general  accounts relating to the break up large estates into settlements.  Volume 2 is the General Lands for Settlement Account. The rest of the volumes in this series are for accounts for individual settlements.
The reason for the gap in Ledgers, between 1914 and 1921, has not been researched.
The Government brought freehold land from the owners for later settlement by small farmers under various kinds of tenure, such as deferred payments. Series 9357 contains the Particulars, Terms and Conditions of Disposal and Occupation of Estates and Settlements Books which are prospectuses describing the land for sale or lease and the conditions of sale or lease.
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 AG220/83 by Hocken Library.
