Beginning in 2010, the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO)
will be adding a Geographic Information System (GIS) component to its
historic sites information system in an effort to make historic sites
information more accessible and useful. This data system is the master
repository of information about Oregon’s historic resources
(buildings, structures, sites, etc.). The GIS component will provide a
new, map-based way to access and search Oregon’s historic,
above-ground sites. Specifically, this feature will link information
already collected through survey and captured in Oregon’s historic
sites information system to a geographic location on a digital map.

In an effort to make the GIS component accessible more readily to
historic preservationists, the SHPO strongly encourages surveyors to
begin collecting latitude and longitude coordinates for each resource
surveyed and recording these coordinates in the Oregon Historic Sites
Database. Recording latitude/longitude coordinates for resources will
ensure that data collected will be imported into the historic sites
information system more quickly and made accessible to online users
sooner than survey data submitted to the SHPO without
latitude/longitude
coordinates.
