- Hawai’i
- There doesn’t seem to be a resource for digital, off-site, site record access. However, there is a website that will show you where sites are. You can’t see any details, from what I can tell.
- This is from the website for the Inventory of Historic Properties
- http://hawaii.gov/dlnr/hpd/
- “The division is now in the process of computerizing a simplified inventory so it will be accessible via the State’s Geographic Information System. The inventory is the primary tool utilized in making historic preservation decisions in Hawai’i.”
- Idaho
- No digital site records available online.
- Idaho State Historical Society: Archaeological Survey and Sites Inventory web page
- http://history.idaho.gov/archaeological-survey-and-sites-inventory
- Call (208) 334-3847 or email glenda.king@ishs.idaho.gov for access
- Site form
- Site Inventory Form (opens a word document)
- Looks a lot like the IMACS form used in much of the intermountain west.
- Illinois
- HAARGIS
- Historic Architectural and Archaeology Resources Geographic Information System
- http://www.illinoishistory.gov/ps/haargis.htm
- Some information is available to the public through this system. However, the website states that, “archaeological “high probability areas” as defined pursuant to state law...are exempt from general public access...They may be accessed at our offices in Springfield by professionally qualified archaeologists for legitimate research purposes.”
