all sites and structures eligible for inclusion on the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory were identified concretely and assigned a rating during the windshield survey. Survey forms were then processed for each site using a computer database. The actual data gathering for each site began in September of 1991; research of significant properties began in December of 1991. (note: the findings of the windshield survey, 632 sites, has since decreased somewhat as nearly a dozen buildings have been vinyl sided in the interim). The project continues into 1992 with a ending date of June 31.
