This report details the development of I-Sites, a database-driven website that provides public and professional access to the Iowa State File, a master inventory of the state’s recorded archeological sites. The project’s goal was to contribute to resolving the need to keep preservation-related databases current with existing and new discoveries by allowing archeologists in the field to update the site.
Among the topics covered in this report are methods and materials, hardware and software development, functionality, data entry, security and longterm management.
