I don't know. That is an issue the State of Hawaii refuses to address as far as I have seen or read. I'm sure they have all the originals stored away somewhere. I've seen original handwritten tax records dating back to the early 1900's and those are still in use in our County tax office. So are the tax maps. For day to day use we go with the computers but even the County gov't will go back to the originals to resolve disputes. In fact, it is required in many instances to prove such things as building permits, validity of subdivided lots, etc. There is an ongoing power struggle over who has the right to view these original documents. Real life experience here in Hawaii has taught me that it is foolish to trust the County or State government.
