| Description |
Maps that show land transactions are spread across the holdings of Archives New Zealand. But some that are particularly useful for genealogists are held in two separate but related collections: ‘Land Sale Maps’ (Series 8109) and ‘Lands and Survey Maps’ (Accession W3740). The maps in these collections deal with land sold by the Crown under the Land for Settlements Acts. Land considered unsuitable for farming was developed by the Crown into viable farmland, and rather than selling these to highest bidder, potential buyers registered an interest in purchasing the land at a fixed price. The purchaser for each block was then chosen by ballot. As a result, between 1892 and 1911 the Crown offered 8·5 million acres for settlement and this was settled in 33,000 holdings. Maps of the land for sale were published and distributed for public viewing at Lands and Survey offices across the country. The ‘Lands and Survey Maps’ in Accession W3740 holds over 6,600 maps. These are organised by district, year, and block/section/settlement: archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewEntity.do?code=W3740 Files on every section that was ever balloted are scarce, but if your ancestor received land by ballot then these maps will help. From newspaper references or other sources you can match up the section or block to the map for that ballot. Archives Reference: AADS W3740 F214/ 15 Material from Archives New Zealand. |
