Lineage

Archaeological reports dating back to January 1973 have been used to capture corresponding survey boundaries. These reports have been digitally captured in a polygon format as a number of individual projects since the early 1990s. Early survey boundary information was captured in ERMS GIS format (a NPWS GIS format used in the 1990s) and then converted into ArcView shapefile format in 1998. This converted data has then been merged with other survey boundary data captured since 1998. It should be noted that survey boundary polygons have not been built using ArcInfo and shapefiles overlap as a result.

In 2009 - 2010 Emmanuel Fewquandie, Country Culture & Heritage Division, was tasked to update the database with outstanding survey areas for NSW. During this process the attribute table was reorganised and updated as well.
