The second major stage of the proposed project, the preparation of a multiple resource nomination to the National Register, merits more discussion here. The use of a single multiple resource nomination to place architecturally and historically significant properties to the National Register will minimize paper work, while allowing the Principal InvestigatOr to base the nomination to the maximum extent on the field work and writing done for the Comprehensive Community Inventory. The Principal Investigator will work closely with the Division of Archives and History's Survey Coordinator, and with other NCDAH staff, to develop a multiple resource listing that best represents the diverse architectural heritage of Concord and Cabarrus County. The proposed nomination is a direct outgrowth of the Comprehensive Community Inventory, and will draw heavily on the inventory's product. The Principal Investigator, for the inventory, will also be employed to prepare National Register nominations. The photographs he has taken and the architectural descriptions he is writing can be directly incorporated into the nominations. The Principal Investigator will also draw upon the large number of property owners and local historians he already knows to direct him to privately held document~ and photographs that can illuminate the history of individual buildings and groups of structures. As mentioned earlier, the project will'comprise four major stages. Before this work begins, however, the Principal Investigator will lay the groundwork for the National Register nominations through two tasks. First, in consultation with the NCDAH Survey Coordinator and other colleagues, the Principal Investigator will make a preliminary selection of the properties to be included in the multiple resource listing. Second, at the conclusion of the Comprehensive Com~nunity inventory, the Principal Investigator will present a list of individual p~'operties and districts that he believes meet National Register criteria to the staff of the Survey and Planning Branch of the NCDAH, and to the Professional Review Committee of the North Carolina Historical Commission. These groups will evaluate the Principal Investigator's proposed nomination At this point, the four major stages of the project will beg~n: 1. Preparation and printing of the Comprehensive Co~unity Inventory, under the editorial supervision of NCDAH's Survey and Planning Branch. He and the Draftsman~Cartographer will then prepare a mock-up of the inventory publication that will be reviewed by the Survey and Planning Branch, and then given for production to a competitively chosen printer. As the printer's work progresses, it will be closely monitored by the Principal Investigator and the Draftsman- Cartographer. 2. Final procedure design. The Principal Investigator will devise a work program for properties and districts approved for nomination to the National Register by the Professional Review Committee. 3. Preparation of nominations. The Principal ~nvestigator will conduct extensive research on each property to be included in the nomination. An average of five hours will be spent on each property, though somewhat less time will be spent researching individual houses'in the historic districts of Concord. Once documentation is complete, a report will be prepared in the format required by the Keeper'of the Register. The Draftsman-Cartographer will produce the necessary
