DocuSign Envelope ID: 2D970A62 -10C1- 4949 - 9224- E9F2ADB7D568 <br />II. Accessing Records <br />a. Maps <br />OSA staff are no longer adding site locations, reviewed areas, or surveyed areas to the paper <br />topographic quadrangle maps. This information is instead being added to OSA's Geographic <br />Information System (GIS) which is available for access during background research <br />appointments on computers in the Raleigh and Asheville offices. Scans of the original paper <br />topographic quadrangle maps are accessible as base - mapping in GIS. OSA staff are in the <br />process of digitizing the information from the paper maps. <br />b. Site Forms <br />OSA staff are in the process of data - entering site forms for all previously recorded sites. <br />Data from site forms are being added to a site database (SiteForm) that is available on <br />computers in the Raleigh and Asheville offices. In the Raleigh office, site forms that have not <br />yet been data entered are available in boxes stored in the map room, and are organized by <br />county. <br />Scans of the original forms are also available for those site forms that have been data - entered <br />into the database. Scans are stored on discs in the Raleigh map room or are available on <br />microfiche in the OSA Raleigh office library. These may be useful as they often include site <br />maps and artifact inventories that were appended to the original forms, which are not <br />available in the database. <br />c. Reports <br />Paper copies of all reports are stored at the OSA Raleigh office library, and copies of reports <br />concerning the western counties (see Part 1, Background Research Introduction, above) are <br />available at the DNCR western office in Asheville. Copies can be made for $0.10 /page or <br />scans be made for $0.05 /page. <br />North Carolina Oce of State Archaeology — Archaeological Investigation Standard and Guidelines December 2017) Page 2 <br />
