Places of Interest, Santa Barbara
- Description:
This feature class describes properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places, classified as historic buildings, and depicted as points. The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single UTM coordinate pair for properties under 10 acres. A building, such as a house, barn, church, hotel, or similar construction, is created principally to shelter any form of human activity. A building may also be used to refer to a historically and functionally related unit, such as a courthouse and jail or a house and barn. Buildings include: houses, barns, stables, sheds, garages, courthouses, city halls, social halls, commercial buildings, libraries, factories, mills, train depots, stationary mobile homees, hotels, theaters, schools, stores and churches. Attribute data in this dataset are intentionally limited to those necessary for spatial data maintenance and feature level metadata necessary to document the lineage of the geography itself. Data from external database systems, such as the National Register Information System, are intended to link with these data to provide basic feature attributes. The means to maintain unique identifiers for each historic site (CR_ID), Survey_ID, as well as unique geometries associated with that feature (Geometry_ID) are through the use of Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs) assigned by the database. Information about the genesis of individual points is documented by feature level metadata fields in the spatial attribute table.

- Citation:
- States, Tribes, Federal agencies, certified local governments and the general public have been nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places since its creation in 1966 with the National Historic Preservation Act. The National Register of Historic Places serves as national inventory of historically significant sites, buildings, structures, objects and districts. The inventory is growing annually with the addition of more properties determined eligible and is constantly being updated. Location information is collected with each nomination, however the accuracy and quality of this data changes over time.

- Use Constraints:
- Locational accuracy varies depending upon how the locational data was originally recorded. The National Register of Historic Places requires the submission of a single coordinate pair for properties under 10 acres and a set of coordinate pairs representing a general bounding area for properties over 10 acres. Coordinate pairs are not checked for accuracy. Datum information is not collected related to the coordinate pairs. Users should consult the feature level metadata attributes to determine the appropriateness of the data for specific tasks. Release of locational information for cultural resources are subject to the provisions of Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act as Amended and Section (9)(a)(2) of the Archeological Resources Protection Act as Amended.
