New features available in the Oregon Historic Sites Database include: - PDFs of nominations for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places. - PDFs of inventory forms for nearly 30,000 properties surveyed since the late 1960s. - Ability to export a site form record to PDF. - Links from property records to a GIS that graphically displays the location of the property. - Ability to view a statewide map that graphically displays properties in the database and select one or more properties at a time to view information. - Within the GIS, ability to measure the distance of a line or polygon, find the latitude and longitude of a point, and select multiple basemaps.
