      Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

      For the last 375 years, the Suffolk Registry of Deeds has been committed to keeping the residents of Suffolk County\u2019s real estate records safe and accessible.\u00a0 In keeping with that tradition, we at the Registry of Deeds are proud to invite you to visit our new and improved public website.<\/p>\n

      This website has been designed with new features that will better serve all the residents of our county. We have worked with the National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH to ensure that this site is available to persons who use assistive technology such as keyboard only navigation and screen readers.\u00a0 In addition, the site allows for all non-embedded text to be enlarged and contrasted assisting persons with visual impairments.<\/p>\n

      The site is equipped with Google Translator which allows for all non-embedded text to be translated into over 100 different languages assisting the residents of our County whose first language is not English.<\/p>\n

      For all of our users, the site was designed to allow better access on mobile devices, such as phones and tablets.<\/p>\n

      The one feature of this site which we were unable to improve was the functionality of masslandrecords.com \u2013 changes on this state-wide site require the collective efforts of numerous entities.\u00a0 As the Register I can assure you that the efforts to make those improvements are underway.<\/p>\n

      Please use our new website and enjoy the improvements we have made.\u00a0 Like any technology product, it can always be enhanced and improved.\u00a0 If you have any comments or suggestions please contact us \u2013 we value your input. After all, we are here to help you.<\/p>\n

      Thank you for the opportunity to serve you,<\/p>\n
