Report Production

As part of Heritage's Information Management program, report production is one type of result from our documentation management process for a project. It can take many forms:

  • Chronological Events Reports
  • Operational Summaries
  • Site Histories
  • Company Timelines

We can create and print reports directly from the database program, or we can develop and write custom reports by searching and summarizing database information to answer specific topical needs. We hyperlink to document images and footnotes directly from within the reports

.

Case Study:

In 2002-03, Heritage conducted a comparative study of the historical marker programs in ten mid-western states, and provided the State of Kansas with best practice recommendations for a more comprehensive marking program . After designing and sending interview forms to ten predetermined states, collected information was compared and assimilated into a project report outlining the best procedures for creating and managing a historical markers program .

In conjunction with the study, Heritage produced a Kansas historical marker database. Using a custom mailing list database, 1100 Kansas cities, counties, historical societies, libraries, museums, chamber of commerce offices, economic development and tourism groups, veterans, historical parks, and other entities involved in placing markers were solicited to submit marker details either by mail, fax, or forms available via our web site. More than 600 entities sent in marker information resulting in over 1250 logged markers, most with digital pictures, in the historical marker inventory database. All materials were used to develop the report with the final report, database, and images provided on CD to the Kansas State Historical Society.
