ERRORS/UPDATES IN SCHPR

The documents available in SCHPR are static, archival records that cannot be changed. These records provide a snapshot of a property at the specific time it was listed in the National Register or recorded by a survey.

When and if a National Register nomination is updated, the existing nomination remains as it is and a new document is created (typically Additional Documentation and/or a Boundary Increase). Updates to nominations typically reflect major changes/additions to the property’s documented significance and must go through the nomination process before being added to SCHPR. It is not necessary to submit Additional Documentation for small items such as a minor error or a change in address.

Likewise, if a property is ever revisited during a survey, a new revisit survey form should be completed. If a previously surveyed property has been altered or demolished please contact John D. Sylvest with the resource’s survey number, current/former address, and new information regarding the current status of the resource so we can update our records. Links or attachments to supporting newspaper articles, photographs, or notes to explain the new information and current status are appreciated.
