Please let us know if you've already ordered a preservation tag
If you've already ordered a historic preservation license tag, please let us know how you heard about the tag. Was it from this newsletter, did you see it at your county tag office, or maybe you heard about it from your local neighborhood association or preservation nonprofit group? We'd also like to know what was the deciding factor that prompted you to place your order. This information will help us as we promote the tags in the new year. You may either reply to this message or send an e-mail to helen_talley-mcrae@dnr.state.ga.us.
Current tag orders are 368. For more information on how to order the historic preservation license plate or help spread the word, please contact grants coordinator Carole Moore at 404-463-8434 or email her at carole_moore@dnr.state.ga.us. To view the plate, access the order form, and locate the nearest tag office, go to HPD's Web site at www.gashpo.org.

Public comments welcome: marine protected areas
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of the Interior have jointly released a draft framework for the development of a comprehensive national system of marine protected areas (MPA) that aims to enhance the conservation and sustainable use of the nation's vital natural and cultural marine resources. The draft framework is available for public comment through February 14, 2007. More information is available at http://www.mpa.gov or by contacting Jonathan Kelsey, National System Coordinator, at jonathan.kelsey@noaa.gov, or Brian Jordan, Maritime Archeologist Coordinator, at brian.jordan@noaa.gov.

Online Historic Campus Architecture Project
The Council of Independent Colleges has launched an online Historic Campus Architecture Project (HCAP), the first national architecture and landscape database of independent college and university campuses. This project presents information about significant buildings, landscapes, campus plans, and heritage sites of American higher education and identifies sources for further research. Supported by grants from the Getty Foundation, the CIC HCAP website documents nearly 2,000 places of historical significance on private college and university campuses and includes more than 4,300 images relating to these sites. To date, nearly 370 institutions have participated. On this site, web users can find institutions or places in a particular state or region; seek information about a specific type of architecture, designer, or time period; or gather data for future research. http://puka.cs.waikato.ac.nz/cgibin/cic/library?a=p&p=home
