The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Engineering and Construction unit, in Annapolis, Maryland is currently seeking a Historic Sites Surveyor/Architectural Historian to survey and document historic structures located in State parks in the Eastern and Western regions that were directly impacted by Hurricane Sandy. Working closely with the DNR Historic Preservation Planner and the Administrator of Research & Survey with the Maryland Historical Trust, the Historic Sites Surveyor will prepare Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) and Determination of Eligibility (DOE) forms. In addition, work will include the development of a historic context for New Deal-era resources in Maryland parks, as well as an analysis of existing information on the parks to identify data gaps and levels of risk to historic resources.

• Coordinate with DNR units in the Eastern and Western regions to identify potential historic resources, which may not be recorded in DNR's GIS data or the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties. Compare this inventory to existing data to identify information gaps and identify levels of risk to the historic resources. The product will be in spreadsheet form. If time permits, the evaluation will be extended to other DNR regions.
• Attend project meetings with DNR and MHT staff as necessary.
• Manage documentation necessary for grant reimbursement from the National Park Service; ensure conformance of all sub-grant projects with the NPS guidelines; and complete final project reporting for the sub-grant program.
