. Iq~ EXPECTED PRODUCTS OF HISTORIC RESOURCES SURVEY AND INVENTORY PROJECTS Surveys are a process of identifying and gathering data on a community's historic resources. In as comprehensive a manner as possible, surveys document all pre- 1945 historic buildings, objects, structures, sites and districts within a given geographical boundary. Surveys assign high, medium or low priority rankings to these resources. Initial identification is followed by a phase that concentrates on high priority properties, generally those which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Such resources are of significance in American history, architecture, archeology and culture, and generally are more than 50 years of age. The full range of products for a historic resources survey includes the following, with representative samples appended. A Texas Historic Sites Inventory Form (typewritten), or its approved equivalent, must be provided for every (high priority) historic property in the survey area. Photo documentation (including negatives) for all surveyed sites must be provided. Either 4" x S" or 3Smm format may be used. For 3Smm format, one contact sheet and one completed Photo Index sheet must accompany each roll of film. Sample forms are attached. In addition, 3Snun slides of all high priority properties ô.l1d representative streetscapes are required. Proper identification of ~ach view must be provided with all photodocumentation. Detailed Maps must identify the location of all surveyed properties and districts. Local maps (preferably ...vith building footprints) or USGS 7.5 series maps may be used to clearly identify surveyed sites and their site numbers. A figure for the total number of acres surveyed must also be provided. A Final Report (two copies) must outline the survey's purpose and methodology. In addition, observations about the background history of the area, patterns of settlement, development trends and resource distribution shall be included. Results should discuss analysis, implications and recommendations for locat state and federal historical designation and other appropriate preservation methods. This report must be in conformance with the attached U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Identification.
