This data set contains the locations and basic attributes of sites, buildings, objects, structures, and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.
The National Register property location data are based on NR nomination forms, site forms and field reports which have been submitted by many and varied individuals, groups, institutions, and cultural resource firms. Submissions to the Site File are sometimes accepted from amateurs as well as professionals. The locations are only as accurate as the locational information submitted to the Site File by the site recorder. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified.
The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this and other Site File data layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes only. State and federal law protects archaeological remains on state or federal owned and controlled lands (section 267.13, Florida Statutes). State law protects human burial sites on all lands (sections 872.02 and 872.05, Florida Statutes).
Only properties LISTED prior to the date of this dataset are contained in this layer. Properties determined eligible, pending nomination or pending owner objection do not appear in this data set. Information on currently listed properties can be obtained from the National Register web site at http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/.
There are two features listed on the NRHP for Florida that DO NOT appear in this dataset
NRIS REFNUM 72000337 - Tallahassee Historic District Zones I and II These districts have been updated and split into two individually listed districts. They now appear as The Calhoun Street Historic District (REFNUM 79000677, State Site # LE00209) and The Park Avenue Historic District (REFNUM 79000681, State Site # LE00210).
NRIS REFNUM 89001428 - HA. 19 (Japanese Midget Submarine) This object is no longer located in the State of Florida. It was previously located in Key West.

Spatial and Attribute Information
This data was originally created by the Division of Historical Resources. When maps were present in the NR nomination or in the Site File folder for the resource, the polygons were created by on-screen (heads-up) digitizing in ArcMap or ArcInfo. Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangles were used as the background reference images. A few offshore features were georeferenced, 1:80,000 scale and NOAA nautical charts were used as background reference images.
When received by Geoplan, the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD27, Spheroid: Clarke 1866, Units: Decimal Degrees. The shapefile was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) in ArcToolBox using the Florida Harn Transformation. -Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN -Added DESCRIPT field based on RESNAME to attribute table -Added FGDLAQDATE -Upcased all items in the attribute table -Changed file name to shpo_natl_register from NationalRegister

ESRI
This is the official state site number assigned by the Florida Master Site File. The state site number is an eight character string containing a two character county code, a five character numeric code, and an optional single letter character suffix (suffix letter is generally used to indicate sites that are functionally or spatially related).
Bureau of Archaeological Research
A unique 8 digit number assigned to the resource documentation by the NRHP. This number is the primary key for the NRIS database. The first two digits represent the year the documentation for the resource was received.
Bureau of Archaeological Research
Primary name for each resource
Bureau of Archaeological Research
Address for each resource. Some resources, such as archaeological sites, are address restricted by the NRHP. These resources DO still appear in this data layer.
Bureau of Archaeological Research
Restricted archaeological sites are marked with an "X".

Primary certification code for current status of property. All properties in this version of the coverage will have an "LI" code for listed.
Bureau of Archaeological Research
Date of primary certification in the format YYYYMMDD. For this dataset, CERTDATE represents the date the property was listed on the NRHP.
Bureau of Archaeological Research
Write-in field for architectural style
Bureau of Archaeological Research
Acreage of the property. This field is NOT GIS generated, but comes from the nomination form. By convention, properties than 1 acre are listed as .9 acres (decimal implied).
Bureau of Archaeological Research
If the resource is part of a multiple property submission, multiple resource area or thematic group, the multiple name is listed in this field.
Bureau of Archaeological Research
The city or town nearest to the resource
