Gloucester and Salem Counties are the focus of the HPO's pilot GIS project. An existing architectural survey of Gloucester County is being used to test procedures for data conversion, and a new architectural survey of Salem County will be conducted to test procedures for data acquisition.
Overall project goals include:
- Developing a requirements analysis for an organizational GIS
- Defining system resources and developing spatial and attribute data structures for historic resources
- Implementing data conversion and acquisition
- Refining data structures based on results of conversion and acquisition
- Developing applications for data management and distribution (internal and external) and integration into HPO processes
- Planning for continued data development
An overview of the project and details of the results to date are provided in the slide presentation referenced above. Please check back for updates to this page as data are developed and GIS features are enabled.
GIS for Preservationists: Mapping History
Wednesday, March 16, 2005, Drew University, Madison, New JerseyToday's geographic information systems, or GIS, provide new and innovative opportunities for cultural resource professionals and advocates to satisfy a critical need: accurate locational information. Mapping has always been an integral part of any cultural resource identification effort, but in our information hungry environment, maps and data that can be easily distributed and integrated with other information are vital to ensuring adequate consideration of cultural resources in many planning processes. This full-day course provides an overview of the concepts behind GIS, highlights current trends in GIS software and hardware, and provides hands on training with freely available tools and data sources. Co-sponsored by the NJ Historic Preservation Office and Drew University. See Drew University website for additional information.
