Eaa2021 476 preserving historic building documentation pakistanariadnenetwork
Like many countries around the world, Pakistan was forced to go into a COVID-19 national lockdown in March 2020. While this confined most people to their homes, it also had the unintended consequence of catapulting many institutions into embracing going digital. At the National College of Arts (NCA), Pakistan’s oldest art school, this meant embracing online tools and digital resources that had previously been resisted or under utilized in the teaching of art, design, and architecture. The experiences of
lockdown have highlighted inadequacies and inequities within our systems, and as Pakistan returns to normal there is a renewed will to maintain the momentum gained during the pandemic, and an increased realization of the need for developing and sustaining digital infrastructures. The National College of Arts Archives collect and preserve the records, manuscripts, and other artefacts of historical and archaeological
significance at the National College of Arts. From March 2021, the NCA Archives are initiating a project to collect, preserve, and digitize historic building documentation created at the NCA over the past 145 years. This paper will follow this process and
document the NCA Archive’s attempt at creating a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) database of historic building documentation in Pakistan. It will summarize the experiences of the six-month pilot project, including opportunities that have arisen in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in light of the Government of Pakistan’s ongoing Digital Pakistan initiative. The paper will also document and analyze the difficulties and hurdles that might emerge during the course of the project as the NCA Archive’s digital infrastructure is built from the ground up in a post-colonial setting and a post-COVID world.

It emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation, high quality data collection, and ongoing consultation with regulatory agencies throughout the project planning and compliance process.
This document outlines Pennsylvania's efforts to engage non-resident tribes in consultation regarding transportation projects. It involved identifying 15 tribes with ancestral ties to Pennsylvania located in New York, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Initial consultation methods included letters, phone calls, and information sharing. Ongoing activities include tribal visits, summits, guidance, agreements, and a website. Responsibilities are delegated while ensuring tribal agreement and input. Tribal interests include burials and funerary objects. The commitment of FHWA, PennDOT, tribes, and other organizations has led to early success in tribal consultation.
This document provides an agenda and summaries for a presentation on best practices for transportation projects from the perspective of the Pennsylvania Bureau for Historic Preservation. The agenda includes updates on cultural resources essentials, a project involving Pennsylvania transportation and heritage, and a long range transportation planning partnership. The presentation discusses the bureau's new programmatic approach, increasing public involvement and transparency while streamlining processes. It also outlines the bureau's vision of promoting historic preservation statewide.
The document outlines PennDOT's historic metal truss bridge management plan. It notes that there were originally 863 historic metal truss bridges in Pennsylvania but now only 601 remain, with 47 eligible or listed bridges being lost. The management plan was created by PennDOT and other groups to establish a protocol for determining which bridges to assess for preservation potential and prioritize them for individual evaluations. It will include elements such as criteria for defining levels of significance, guidelines for assessing preservation potential, a bridge database, and district summaries. The plan aims to provide incentives for local governments to rehabilitate historic bridges and explore alternative reuse options for abandoned bridges.
This document outlines risky practices that can poorly treat the archaeological record, people who care about the archaeological record, and people who care about projects involving archaeology. Some of the worst practices include failing to have adequate strategies, research designs, communication, and planning. This can result in unnecessary damage to sites, missed opportunities, ignored concerns, and surprises that frustrate all stakeholders. Proper treatment requires inventory surveys, excavation strategies, communication, and utilization of regulatory procedures to successfully balance archaeological protection with project needs.
Integrating Historic Preservation into Disaster Planning and Recoverypreservationcombination
This document provides an overview of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's work in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, focusing on challenges integrating historic preservation into disaster recovery efforts. Some key issues discussed include proposed demolitions of historic buildings like Charity Hospital, challenges navigating regulatory processes like Section 106 reviews, and balancing recovery needs with preservation of historic character. Alternatives to the proposed new VA and LSU hospital campuses that would have demolished many historic structures were presented, but the proposed plans moved forward despite preservationist objections.
The document provides an overview of the Surface Transportation Board and its predecessor, the Interstate Commerce Commission. It discusses how the ICC was created in 1887 to regulate railroads after issues arose from the "Granger Movement". Over time, the number of ICC board members changed and trucks and cars began competing with railroads. The ICC addressed railroad abandonments from 2009-2011. Some rail-banked lines were converted to trails, and new rail construction and reactivation of rail-banked trails has occurred. The presentation was given by Catherine Glidden of the Surface Transportation Board.
The document summarizes the key aspects of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). MAP-21 consolidated and reformed surface transportation programs, established performance measures for transportation systems, and provided funding authorizations through Fiscal Year 2014. It streamlined programs, placed an increased emphasis on performance management to support national transportation goals, and implemented reforms to accelerate project delivery. MAP-21 also required states to develop performance targets in several areas and link investment priorities to performance. However, the funding authorized by MAP-21 only sustained surface transportation spending for two years and did not identify a long-term solution for financing infrastructure needs beyond FY2014.

by public agencies and private parties for purposes of incorporation into, or
complementing, the national historic architectural and engineering records within the

Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Architectural and Engineering Documentation
• Adequately convey significance or
value
• Accurately prepared from reliable
sources
• Durable long-term, easily
reproducible, and standard in size &
format
• Clear and concise
12. Heritage Documentation Programs

Secretary’s Standard #2:
“Documentation shall be prepared accurately from reliable sources within limitations
clearly stated to permit independent verification of the information.”
• Field records for drawings
• Accurate locational data: guidelines now call for GPS
• Sourced historical reports, including footnotes and bibliography
• Perspective correction at the time of capture is an essential element of

“Documentation shall be prepared on materials that are readily

• Digital preservation means accepting many unknowns
Analog = 500 yrs Digital = ???
• Very few digital preservation success stories & many horror stories – current
successes have been around only for a few years;
• On-line storage reliability will need to increase by a factor of 1 billion for a 50%
chance of files being usable after just 100 years;
• Internet Archive is keeping digitized books in
their original paper format because they believe
they are “an authoritative and safe copy that may
be called upon in the future”

Sustainability and Preservation of Digital Data
Some of the dangers:
• Resiliency – Error rate of file formats
• Bit Rot - Gradual accumulation of irrecoverable bit errors
• Media Degradation – Even gold CD/DVDs last only 3-10 years
Practices under consideration:
• Open Standard – Non-Proprietary formats
• Migration – File formats change
• Widespread Adoption – Safety in numbers
• Availability of tools to help manage the archive
18. Heritage Documentation Programs

Additional Barriers to Digital Preservation
Cost – IT - Digital storage is exponentially more
expensive than analog.
•Cost of capture is small compared to long-term
storage costs
• Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
Cost to preserve one movie on film - $1,059
Preserve that same movie digitally - $12,514
Lack of Industry Standards:
• No standards currently exist for large-format
equivalent born-digital photography
