HISTORIC SITES DATABASE NOW ONLINE

aerial-corvallis-1.jpg

The State Historic Preservation Office has made its master database of historic buildings and sites in Oregon available online. There are almost 45,000 records in the database, including National Register properties, surveys, and inventory records.
“This is still a rudimentary version,” said Roger Roper, the deputy state historic preservation officer. “There are many features we will be adding over the coming weeks, including the ability to run more complex searches and printout both site-specific data and summary data for groups of buildings. Please read the Disclaimer page for details about the limitations and the ‘coming attractions.’”
They are interested in your feedback, so please send your comments to ORsurvey.feedback@state.or.us.
