Abstract:This report describes a method for locating historic site information using a computer graphics program. If adopted for use by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, this method should significantly reduce the time now required to determine the locations of historically significant sites and their proximity to highway and transportation projects. A data bank containing all properties either listed on or nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, and those listed on the Virginia Register of Historic Places has been developed. These data can be retrieved in standard line-printer output or in a graphic representation using a pen plotter. With this information, the absence of historically significant sires in an area can be quickly established, thereby reducing the time needed to meet federal regulations and obtain approval for a proposed highway project.
