The LTSA will be consolidating its corporate office, the Surveyor General Division, and the Victoria Land Title Office at a new building at 1321 Blanshard Street in Victoria in the late summer of 2010. The new premises will improve the working environment for Victoria-based employees and those who access the LTSA's records, and will include:
- A new state of-the-art, climate-controlled records vault to house BC's historic hardcopy land title and survey records;
- Enhanced document storage; and
- A document conservation laboratory for ongoing preservation and protection of the collection of historic records.
The move to the new facility has been planned by the LTSA for a number of years, and is being undertaken with the support of the LTSA's Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) and the Province. The development of the vault reflects input from various representative groups, including the BC Historical Federation. Funding for the development of the new vault facility and conservation lab (approximately $1.5 million) has been established through operating revenue and prudent management.
