Maine - New technology, old problem: Oxford registry of deeds addresses
preservation in the digital age | Sun Journal

The metal shelves containing the recorded history of land ownership over
the past 209 years are unattended; the climate-controlled room is occupied
by only the register and a small staff. But across the country — and maybe
the world — unseen hands are perusing the county’s deeds online.

The digitalization and online accessibility of the county’s documents has
signaled a physical exodus from the registry’s room, nestled sleepily
behind a thick wooden door in the county courthouse on Western Avenue.

“This place used to be a bustling metropolis, with standing-room only,”
said county Register of Deeds Patricia Shearman.
