    A Beginner's Guide to ConnCRIS, Connecticut's Cultural Resources Information System

    A Beginner's Guide to ConnCRIS, Connecticut's Cultural Resources Information System

    Connecticut's cultural resources inventory is now accessible online!  Join Kevin Berger, GIS Analyst and Jenny Scofield, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer and National Register Coordinator with Connecticut's State Historic Preservation Office for an overview of ConnCRIS, the state's new Connecticut Cultural Resources Information System.  This free interactive geospatial database allows users to navigate a searchable map of above-ground, historic architectural resource data, such as State and National Register listed properties, and a variety of map layers that can be turned on and off.  This session will introduce ConnCRIS's features, offer a beginner's guide to navigating the system, and share some of its search functionality.

    Speakers:

     


      Kevin Berger

      State Historic Preservation Office





    Kevin Berger, GIS Analyst at the State Historic Preservation Office. At SHPO, his primary role is to maintain ConnCRIS, the state’s cultural resources information system.  He has more than 15 years of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) experience in spatial data analysis and mapping, both in the municipal and utility sector. Kevin is a Connecticut native who graduated from Temple University’s (Philadelphia, PA) with a bachelor’s degree in Geography and Urban Studies/Environmental Studies program.



        Jenny Scofield

        State Historic Preservation Office



    Jenny Fields Scofield, AICP, is the Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer and National Register and Architectural Survey Coordinator at the State Historic Preservation Office. Her primary role there is to help communities identify places important to history and work creatively to promote their stewardship. The National Register of Historic Places is a program of the National Park Service and is an integral part of historic preservation policy. Prior to returning to her home state to work for the government, Ms. Scofield spent 15 years as a cultural resources consultant, conducting surveys, engaging in environmental compliance, and writing historic designation documents and historic preservation plans throughout the United States. Early in her career, she worked at the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission and Preservation Connecticut. Ms. Scofield is easily distracted by architectural artifacts, scenic places, and landscapes with layers of history. She earned Masters degrees in Historic Preservation and Urban Planning from Columbia University after studying architecture, historic preservation, archaeology, art history, and material culture at Roger Williams University and the University of Delaware. Ms. Scofield believes that the changes in the scenic character and variety of historic resources found in Connecticut’s 169 towns make it an ideal place to live.
