·         LDT Records Archive - Land Development Team Records Archives are online street files in .TIFF format

Mac OS/9 File Name Compatibility

Apple Macintosh OS/9 has a limitation of thirty-two (32) characters for a File Name. Because of the need to be precise with the naming of some linked files, such as Microsoft Office documents and Adobe Acrobat PDFs, you will find some of these documents throughout the site have file names longer than 32 characters. If you are using OS/9, and are experiencing problems accessing specific files, please let us know which document you are trying to access, and it will be emailed as an attachment to you.
