Excerpt from Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania: An Inventory of Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites The objectives of the Historic American Engineering Record (haer) Inventory are threefold: (1) it is the initial step in the haer documentation process; historic engineering and industrial sites in a given geographic area are located and identified; (2) it assists states in evaluating these historic resources for planning purposes and for potential nominations to the National Register; and (3) it establishes a context for evaluation by the National Park Service of the historic engineering and industrial sites nominated by the states to the National Register, or for determinations of eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places. All of the haer inventory material is deposited in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. This includes the many 35 mm black-and-white photographs taken in the field, along with copies of the inventory forms containing the brief histories and descriptions for each site. Haer recognizes the importance of publishing the inventories; however, project sponsors are generally required to cover the costs of printing. The published inventory, available to the general public, is used in educational institutions, to study technological, industrial, and engineering history, historic preservation, the history of urban planning, and cultural geography. Published inventories are also distributed to state, county, and local planning offices, libraries, and preservation agencies. The haer inventories thus expand the awareness of engineering and industrial history, demonstrate consistent methods of identification and evaluation, and stimulate public interest in a significant part of our American heritage.
