[MassHistPres] Inventory of Historic and Archaeological Assets ofthe Commonwealth

[Tucker, Jonathan]

Thanks to all who responded.  The "Inventory of Historic and
Archaeological Assets of the Commonwealth" is not the same as the MACRIS
database.  It includes archeological site information.  According to one
source (who will remain nameless unless he wishes otherwise), having the
archeological information on the web resulted in site looting and
vandalism, so MHC took it off.  To get a look at the inventory, you have
to contact MHC directly, or visit there.

 

Thanks again,

Jonathan,

Chris Skelly can tell you more, but it's my understanding that there are
no inventory forms for any community online yet, at least through the
state system, but that should be changing soon.  MHC guidelines for
current survey and inventory projects now require copies of all forms on
CD-R, accompanied by maps generated through the Mass. GIS system.  So
when the funding is available for posting them online, the documents
will be ready as well.

 

In the meantime, there are a few communities who have made their local
inventory forms accessible on line.  Marlborough is one.

Does anybody know how to access this inventory online? I followed the
trail of breadcrumbs through the Mass.gov and MHC websites to no avail.
