- http://www.oregonheritage.org/OPRD/HCD/ARCH/arch_arm.shtml
- “Currently SHPO Archaeological Services is creating an integrated ‘Archaeological Inventory Database’ that will consist of digitized maps of known cultural resources and previous archaeological surveys; scanned archaeological site forms and survey reports; a bibliographic database; General Land Office (GLO) survey maps; and orthographic photo maps. Our goal is to provide qualified researchers access to a computer terminal with the integrated Archaeological Inventory Database at its office in Salem to fully investigate their area of interest.” (emphasis added)
- I find it interesting and depressing that their goal is to provide a computer terminal in Salem where people from a couple hundred miles away can come and do research. How hard is that to get online?
