[MassHistPres] updating MHC inventory forms

[Judy Markland]

Greetings,
Whately has a fairly comprehensive set of inventory forms but most are 
about 25 years old and many buildings have been altered or, 
unfortunately, lost.  We also have anecdotal evidence for some 
properties that some of the history is incorrect.

The Historical Commission is struggling with how best to do a good job 
on the updates.  Unfortunately, the work seems to need a great deal of 
local knowledge, so hiring a consultant doesn't seem the best option, 
even if we had the funding.  Has anyone had success with a similar task 
and can recommend a process that we could follow?
