INTERNET RESOURCES for HERITAGE CONSERVATION,
HISTORIC PRESERVATION and ARCHAEOLOGY
*****************************************************************


Gopher version 2.0 is now at the UMich Clearinghouse of Subject-
Oriented Internet Resources under the "Michigan" heading among
geographically arranged gophers; or by gopher directly to
una.hh.lib.umich.edu (choose "inetdirs"). It is also available in
several other gophers.

A WWW version is close to completion and should be ready in the
next few days.


NEW GOPHERS & OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TO GOPHERSPACE

International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). A gopher
begun in February 1994 by members of ICOMOS Canada to serve the
information needs of the international non-governmental
organization and its constituent national and specialized
committees. Gopher to hpb.hwc.ca port 7000; or choose
International Organizations from the Mother Gopher at the
University of Minnesota.

Ministere de la Culture et de la Francophonie. Includes a variety
of French national databases, including MERIMEE, the database of
the Inventaire General des Monuments et des Richesses Artistiques
de la France.

The Ministry's databases can be accessed either by gopher,
or directly by telnet, but new users would be advised to
read the instructions which accompany the gopher choice
"Bases de donnees documentaire." Gopher to cyr.culture.fr
and choose "Bases de donnees documentaire." Alternatively,
telnet to cyr.culture.fr port 75.

The initial default database appears to be JOCONDE
(drawings, prints, paintings, and sculpture). At the first
opportunity, hit <return> and at the prompt that will then
appear at the bottom of the screen, type "M:BA" to produce
the list of databases. Choose "2" for MERIMEE. To bring the
Merimee fields to the screen, type "M:MA GUIDE". You can
then tab between different fields. Enter one or more search
terms and hit <enter>. To see the results of your search,
type 1 ("visualiser"); "S" to see the next record; or
<enter> to see the next page of a record.

IMPORTANT: to quit, type "M:FI N" (note the space between FI
and N).

Cultural Resource Management. Newly added to the CRM directory of
ArchNet are a finding aid to the Massachusetts Archives and the
newsletters of the Massachusetts Historical Commission. Gopher
to spirit.lib.uconn.edu (choose headings "Academic Subjects,"
"social Science," "Anthropology," "ArchNet," and "References and
Topics in Cultural Resource Management.")

SECTION 6: FULL TEXT

(U.S.) National Historic Preservation Act, and Regulations 36 CFR
60 and 36 CFR 800. Gopher to sunny.stat-usa.gov (choose economic
conversion, and adjustment programs and laws).
