Data
Management in SHPOffices
At the 2007
NCSHPO Annual Meeting, the SHPOs participated in a squaretable
discussion on data management in SHPOffices. The abstract for
the discussion:
Many times it seems there is a quagmire
when dealing with the subject of information management within
SHPOffices. This can be challenging for many managers and non-computer
experts to navigate. Under the National Historic Preservation
Act (NHPA), each SHPO is tasked with maintaining similar information,
however each state does so in a similar, yet different, manner.
Sustaining information systems can be challenging in the ever-changing
world of technology. The goal of this squaretable disucssion
is to begin a dialogue about the status of SHPOffice information
systems at a national level. A questionnaire was sent out regarding
SHPO systems and the results will be presented for discussion.
How does your state compare to others and how can we begin to
share our knowledge about the technology and the resources?
Are there ways we can capitalize on shared technology development?
How should long-term funding issues be approached?
The discussion was organized by Mary Hopkins
of the Wyoming SHPO and prior to the discussion, a survey was
conducted to assess the current state of data management in SHPOs.
