Abstract


Paper  Potomac Corridor Historic Resources IMS: Connecting Past and Present
Track: Ecology, Archaeology, and Conservation
Author(s): Jacquelyn Strager, Dan Bonenberger

A recent collaboration between the Natural Resource Analysis Center and the Institute for the History of Technology and Industrial Archaeology at West Virginia University has produced an IMS application that presents information on historic cultural resources located in central Appalachia. Developed using Esri's MapObjects technology, this interactive, Web-based mapping project allows users to search and display descriptive and locational information for hundreds of historic structures along three famous transportation routes that crossed the Appalachians via the Potomac River valley. The Potomac Corridor Historic Resources IMS Web site makes a valuable contribution to heritage tourism and cultural resource management.
