Changes to Architectural Inventory and Survey Guidelines

 

The following changes have been made to the Nevada State Historic Preservation Office’s Section 106 Architectural Inventory and Survey Guidelines, effective immediately:

 

1)      All architectural survey and inventory reports must be submitted to the SHPO in three-ring binders with cover and spine labels.

 

2)      Total project acreage and number of resources documented must be included at the beginning of the report.

 

3)      The SHPO will now accept digital photographs under the following conditions: digital images printed in black-and-white may be imbedded in the Historic Resource Inventory Form or attached on a separate sheet of paper.  Please provide the following information for each photograph:

·        Name of the property, street address, and county;

·        Date of the photograph;

·        Description of the view indicating the direction of the camera.

           

In addition to digital images, each resource must be photographed with black-and-white film, and submitted in the following manner.  For each roll of film provide:

·        Contact sheet labeled with roll number and project name;

·        Black-and-white negatives in archival sleeves labeled with roll number and project name;

·        Photo logs for each roll.  The numbering system on the photo log must correspond to each negative number and indicate the name and/or address of the property, the date of the photograph, and the direction of the camera;

·        Negatives, contact sheets, and photo logs should be placed at the end of the report;

·        A CD copy of the survey report and digital photographs may be included in an archival sleeve at the back of the report.

 

Note:  This change to the photo requirements applies to survey and inventory only.  Until further notice, properly processed black-and-white prints and negatives will continue to be required for mitigative documentation and National Register nominations.
