This dataset includes buildings and districts in Chicago which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or designated as National Historic Landmarks (NHL). The NRHP is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation; NHLs are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. The NRHP and NHL programs are federally-established and are administered by the National Park Service (www.nps/gov/nr) and the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA, www.illinoishistory.gov/). This dataset is provided by the City of Chicago based on NRHP and NHL nominations provided by IHPA. To view or use this KMZ file, compression software, such as 7-Zip, and special GIS software, such as Google Earth, are required.

LUCY: NJ's Cultural Resources GIS Online Map Viewer

The New Jersey Historic Preservation Office (HPO) is pleased to provide LUCY 2.0, an updated and revised online viewer for New Jersey’s cultural resources inventory. LUCY fulfills an important mandate to disseminate cultural resources inventory data to constituents and the public. The updated application expands the list of available data layers, provides lists of related reports and typologies, and provides tools for better search and export of cultural resources data.

The HPO has defined the following layers to represent cultural resources in GIS applications: Historic District Polygons, Historic Property Polygons, Historic Property Feature Points, and Archaeological Site Grid. The data provided in these layers represents historic resources that:Are National Historic Landmarks (NHL),Are included in the NJ and/or National Registers of Historic Places (LISTED),Have formal determinations of eligibility for inclusion in the Registers (ELIGIBLE),Have been designated as local landmarks and districts by municipalities (LOCAL), orHave been documented and evaluated through cultural resources survey efforts statewide (IDENTIFIED).These layers also include resources no longer considered as historic, that:Have been formally determined not-eligible for inclusion in the Registers (NOT ELIGIBLE), orHave been formally de-listed and removed from the NJ and/or National Registers of Historic Places (DELISTED).A updated User Guide to assist users with the map application and its various tools will be available soon. The existing user guide is available on HPO's website. See HPO's GIS page for additional information about ongoing GIS initiatives.

Description This polygon layer contains buildings, sites, structures, objects, and districts that have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of their importance to American history, culture, or archaeology. National Register designation means that changes to these places must be reviewed if federal or state funds, permits, or licenses are used.

About Edit Dates This data is automatically updated on a set schedule. The Socrata edit date may not reflect the actual edit dates in the data. For more details please see the update date on the full metadata page or view the edit date within the data rows.

These points are directly sourced from the National Historic Landmarks, National Register, State Register, Local Historic Districts, Local Historic Places, Historic Resources inventories, CHC files, Connecticut Barns listings, Connecticut Arts & letters listings, Connecticut Making Places listings, Connecticut Freedom Trail listings, and various special surveys (Sculpture, Civil War Monuments, Municipal Parks, Town Greens, Historic Bridges). If a resource appears in multiple pdfs, it will appear as one entry.The geolocation of these points is based on the addresses and pre-existing maps that appear in the associated pdfs of the resources. Some resources were unable to be geolocated; but will still appear in the attribute table of this layer.The following is a list of the sources for each resource with their associated designation:1). National Historic Landmark (NHL); with the designation “NHL”.2). National Register (NR); with the designation “NRIND” for individual resources or NRDIS for NR Districts. A “-C” or a “-NC” is added at the end of NRIND or NRDIS to indicate if it is a contributing or non-contributing resource.3). Restricted National Register (RNR); with the designation “NRIND” for individual resources or NRDIS for NR Districts. A “-C” or a “-NC” is added at the end of NRIND or NRDIS to indicate if it is a contributing or non-contributing resource. These resources are not geolocated and their pdfs are no available to be viewed on the public viewer.4). State Register (SR); with the designation “SRIND” for individual resources or SRDIS for SR Districts. A “-C” or a “-NC” is added at the end of SRIND or SRDIS to indicate if it is a contributing or non-contributing resource. Every resource listed in the NHL or NR have a "SRIND" or "SRDIS" designation as they are automatically placed on the state register if they are added to the NHL or NR. In instances where that is the case, there will be no accompanying SR associated with it. Similarly, everything with a CHC listing, also has a SRIND designation. Some SR resources are referred to as 'LHD' within the documentation, this is because every proposed LHD pre-2019 that failed to pass LHD were automatically added to the state register.5). Local Historic Place (LHP); with the designation “LHP”.6). Local Historic District (LHD); with the designation “LHD”.7). Historic Resource Surveys (HRI)8). Survey of Outdoor Sculptures (SOS)9). Civil War Monuments (CWM)10). Municipal Parks (MP)11). Historic Bridges (HB)12). Town Greens (TG)13). Connecticut Freedom Trails (CFTs)14). Connecticut Barns (Barns)15). Creative Places16). Making Places17). Connecticut Historic Commission (CHC)18). State Owned Buildings: resources with this source were listed in the 1988 State Owned Buildings surveys and may not be reflective of present-day state-owned resources.

In August 2005, Brockington and Associates, Inc., conducted a cultural resources survey of the 51.2 hectare Stono View tract, located on Johns Island, Charleston County, South Carolina. This survey included a background review and the systematic excavation of shovel tests at 15 and 30 meter intervals across the upland portions of the project tract. All dirt roads on the tract were visually inspected. No extant buildings or structures are located on the project tract. Three houses (297 1384, 297 1385, and 297 1386) greater than 50 years of age are located adjacent to the Stono View tract, all three were recommended not eligible the NRHP (Fick et al. 1989). Investigators identified two archaeological sites (38CH2069 and 38CH2070) during the cultural resources survey of the Stono View tract. Archaeological site 38CH2069 is a diffuse subsurface scatter of Pre-Contact ceramics attributed to an unknown Pre-Contact occupation. Site 38CH2070 contains a light subsurface scatter of nineteenth century Post-Contact artifacts. We recommend sites 38CH2069 and 38CH2070 not eligible for the NRHP. No further management of these sites is warranted.
