In Vermont, development projects that require historic preservation consultation for federal and state undertakings often necessitate detailed field surveys of buildings and structures, accompanied by comprehensive map exhibits. VHB Preservation Planners consult for an array of clients including municipalities and state transportation agencies, tackling projects ranging broadly in scale from individual buildings to statewide surveys.
This presentation will showcase recent advancements in historic preservation GIS deliverables, emphasizing the use of ArcGIS Experience Builder, and exploring how mobile data collection tools such as ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 have improved field data collection in historic preservation. Notable projects involving large-scale field surveys, including the BUILD Grant Mitigation - Rail: Historic Bridge Mitigation Survey, the Town of Brandon Preservation Survey, and the Middlebury Village Historic District Survey and National Register Nomination Update, will be highlighted.
The presentation will demonstrate efficiencies achieved during field survey data collected using Field Maps and the benefits of automated reporting capabilities integrated with the Vermont Architectural Resource Inventory form adapted for Survey123. Additionally, the presentation will highlight the dynamic map deliverables made possible by Experience Builder, underscoring their value in presenting and managing historic preservation data.
