Historic Preservation Data Access and Management<br />
Customer requests <strong>for</strong> exact locations of sites with historic significance were<br />
typically responded to by conducting a manual search of extensive map files and<br />
sending the appropriate copies to the requesting organization. A typical request<br />
would take a staff member approximately one hour to search the files and furnish<br />
the necessary in<strong>for</strong>mation. By combining detailed state maps with<br />
comprehensive historic site locations in digital <strong>for</strong>m, the Office of Archaeology<br />
and Historic Preservation (OAHP) can now make available precise Geographic<br />
In<strong>for</strong>mation System (GIS) data contained in, and accessed from, a central<br />
database. Customized extracts of the historic site locations are furnished to<br />
<strong>State</strong> agencies, local governments and tribes in about 10 minutes.<br />
<strong>Results</strong><br />
★ Response time to requesting organizations reduced by over 90%.<br />
★ OAHP staff time reduced from approximately 1 hour to 10 minutes per<br />
response.<br />
★ Enhanced inter-agency responsiveness and cooperation.<br />
★ Agencies conducting their own searches find better in<strong>for</strong>mation faster.<br />
