Summary

This document is a draft of Methodology and Results of On-Site Archival Research and Historic Preservation Fort Sam Houston.

Personnel of Geo-Marine, Inc. and a consulting archivist, Ms. Martha Doty-Freeman, conducted on-site archival research and historic preservation coordination analysis for the Fort Worth District Corps of Engineers at Fort Sam Houston, Bexar County, Texas between October 1988 and April 1989. The archival research involved the cataloguing of the historical map resources stored at Fort Sam Houston, the development of a cataloguing system for the historic architectural resources, and the production of developmental/cultural resource sensitivity maps for Fort Sam Houston. The historic preservation coordination analysis was designed to analyze the Section 106 review process as it is practiced at Fort Sam Houston, provide recommendations for the implementation of the review process, and provide aid to the Post staff in the development of coordination packages.

The cataloguing of the historical map resources resulted in the processing of 909 sheets of plans and the production of 485 inventory forms. Three hundred and forty-nine of the plans were reproduced so that they could be used in the generation of the developmental maps (see Attachments 1 through 9) . This research effort resulted in three recommendations: (1) the map catalog forms should be computerized so that future researchers will be able to easily access the detailed original maps, (2) continue the cataloguing and curation system as presently designed, and (3) treat the Camp Bullis map resources in the same manner.
