(3 4G OLLEC � sr 9 "' `'' Historic Marker Program 78 �� Revision, Marketing, and Partnering S rORrc %O� Since 1991 the Historic Preservation Committee has awarded 70 Historic Home Markers and 4 Building Markers. This year the Historic Marker Application (Appendix D) has been revised in order to efficiently to gather pertinent information regarding the building or subject. Rather than difficult to answer open ended questions, the application now offers the applicant direct questions, which prompt them to supply pertinent information useful to researchers. Attached to each application is a Historic Marker Application Guide containing a glossary, information regarding research at the county level, and a resource sheet for historic commercial and residential property owners has been created for the applicant to use as a reference when filling out their application. Other Historic Marker Program improvement initiatives: Design of an additional marker to commemorate people, subjects, and events. Developing and carrying out a public relations campaign that includes speaking engagements and plans for a door -hanger campaign. Working with Dr. David Woodcock of the TAMU Historic Resources Imaging Laboratory to develop a partnership whereby students would rework the City's Historic Marker case files to obtain more complete information. The Committee is researching various public buildings in order to award them with a complementary historic marker in commemoration of the City's 65 Birthday. 2 Project HOLD Historic Online Library Database '6 A The Historic Preservation Committee's goal is to hold on to College Station history through digital archiving of historical material using document imaging software. This endeavor is called Project HOLD: Historic Online Library Database. It is the committee's conviction that only through studying the past can we adequately plan for the future. HPC invites the community to help build Project HOLD by bringing their historic documents to City Hall on appointed Scan Dates. Trained volunteers will be on hand to facilitate scanning and the indexing of items (Appendix E.) Details regarding Project HOLD Software: Laserfiche Location: Planning Library at City Hall Access: Information archived in Laserfiche will be available for immediate retrieval on the City's intranet. In approximately one year, the Office of Technology of Information Systems estimates that HOLD will be available to the public via the internet. Clients: The potential clients of the History Online Library Database (HOLD) are endless: students, historic property owners, architects, writers, genealogists, and historians from College Station and around the world. 3 Details regarding Laserfiche Document Imaging Description: Laserfiche software is an imaging system that converts hard copy material into digital images. Once scanned and in digital form, the image is organized into file folders on a single storage server, which is backed up regularly. Security: The Laserfiche software is complete with security features to prevent unauthorized changes and prevent the accidental loss of documents. When paired with scanning procedures established by the Texas Local Government Records Act, Title 6, Local Government Code and the 13 Texas Administration Code 6.91 -6.96, Texas State Library Electronic Record Standards and Procedures Laserfiche provides an archival storage that is approved for permanent document storage retention. Retrieval Options: Browsing through topical folders Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Word Search Template Category Search 4 HPCer's Keep Busy!

Reston, VA: Reston Publishing Company, 1983. Resources for Historic Commercial and Residential Property Owners Listed below is a collection of websites and publications that may be useful when caring for historic buildings. This collection of resources is intended as a starting point for historic preservation research, not an explicit guide for projects involving historic buildings. Additional helpful information is readily available, and further investigation is encouraged. Guidelines for Historical Research Research is an essential step of any historic preservation endeavor. "Remembering Texas: Guidelines for Historical Research," developed by the Texas Historical Commission, provides valuable information and instructions on conducting research about historic Texas properties. Although the publication addresses Official Texas Historical Markers and listing on the National Register of Historic Places, explanations of criteria, research methods, documentation, and research sources and collections are beneficial to local researchers. A copy of this free publication can be downloaded at the following address: http://www.thc.state.tx.us/publications/pubdefault.html. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties The standards were established by the Secretary of the Interior to promote responsible preservation practices to protect our important cultural resources. The standards identify the following four treatment approaches for historic buildings. Guidance for selecting an appropriate treatment and additional information can be found online at http: / /www2.cr.nps.gov /tps /standguide /index.htm. Preservation The act or process of applying measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of an historic property. Work, including preliminary measures to protect and stabilize the property, generally focuses upon the ongoing maintenance and repair of historic materials and features rather than extensive replacement and new construction. New exterior additions are not within the scope of this treatment; however, the limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code - required work to make properties functional is appropriate within a preservation project. Rehabilitation The act or process of making possible a compatible use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. Restoration The act or process of accurately depicting the form, features, and character of a property as it appeared at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and reconstruction of missing features from the restoration period. The limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code - required work to make properties functional is appropriate within a restoration project. Reconstruction The act or process of depicting, by means of new construction, the form, features, and detailing of a non - surviving site, landscape, building, structure, or object for the purpose of replicating its appearance at a specific period of time and in its historic location.
