in and for New Castle County. (d) The Recorder of Deeds, in and for Sussex County, upon advice and approval of the Resident Judge of the Superior Court in and for Sussex County, may photocopy or microfilm any volume of land records in his or her official custody, the age and condition of which render its continued use by the public inadvisable. Such copy or microfilm shall be indexed and stored as provided for in § 9605(e) of this title. The Recorder of Deeds shall certify that the contents of such copies are complete and correct. When so copied and certified, the Recorder of Deeds may issue certified copies of any instrument contained in the copy of the original volume, and any such certified copy shall be admissible in evidence in any court of justice in the same manner and entitled to the same weight and have the same effect as certified copies made from the original volumes. Any original volume of land records so copied and certified by the Recorder of Deeds may be delivered to the Delaware Public Archives with the consent of the State Archivist and Records Administrator for preservation in the public archives of the State. The Recorder of Deeds shall certify to the State Archivist and Records Administrator that the copying of the original volume or volumes was done under his or her authorization and supervision, that it meets standards for methods and materials established by the Delaware Public Archives under the provisions of § 517 of Title 29, and the Recorder of Deeds shall take a receipt for the same and the receipt shall be preserved in the office of Recorder of Deeds.
