Historic Buildings Database

The goal of this project is to create a Geographical Information System (GIS) Feature Class that houses spatial and a-spatial data for all known historic buildings in the Humboldt Bay area. Students are currently entering data from several published sources that include information about property location, building style, date of construction etc. Students will collaborate with groups that are conducting, or have conducted historic properties inventories in the Humboldt Bay area, to further this research. When complete the GIS feature class will be added to a geo-database that will hold various cultural resource datasets. Students will utilize this dataset to perform analysis that will provide a greater understanding of European settlement patterns in the Humboldt Bay area.
