Compass: Colorado Cultural Resource On-line Database Now Available to Professionals

The Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP) is pleased to announce the availability of a new on-line cultural resource database: Compass.  This system was developed with a grant from the State Historical Fund and represents a three-year effort to provide qualified individuals with access to many of the fields currently available from the main OAHP database.  The information stored in Compass allows the user to perform searches based on locational parameters in addition to searches using site attribute and management criteria.

OAHP is offering qualified users a ten-day trial period to become familiar with the system.  A subscription to use the system beyond the trial period is a nonrefundable annual fee of $250 per organization.  An unlimited number of qualified staff from the organization may enroll under that subscription.  The subscription fee is waived for the staff of non-profit and Higher Education organizations.

If you are interested in taking advantage of the trial period or subscribing to Compass, please read our information packet (PDF) which contains important details about Compass and user application.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
