Christen</a>, former Research Associate at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts of the National Gallery of Art and an architectural historian, is directing the project as Senior Advisor to CIC.</p> 248 <p>In recent years, the study of campus history has received increasing interest in and attention by many sectors of the educational community. Institutions are working to understand more completely their physical environments and how these relate to educational mission, as well as wider historical trends. The CIC HCAP survey data and website have been developed to help various constituencies gain an awareness of and appreciation for campus history and also to learn from the architecture and landscape preservation efforts made by institutions.</p> 249 250 <p>Between 2002 and 2006, the CIC HCAP was supported by two generous grants from the Campus Heritage Initiative of the Getty Foundation. From 2002-2004, CIC developed a survey to collect information about places of significant historical interest (in relation to architecture, landscape, American history, and the histories of education, religion, engineering, and culture) identified by representatives of institutions themselves. This survey was distributed among 724 independent, four-year, B.A.-granting institutions with less than 5,000 students. Nearly 50 percent of this original group participated in the project. In 2005, CIC began website development with a second two-year grant from the Getty Foundation.</p> 251 252 <p>The CIC HCAP was guided by an advisory committee and developed by the coordinated efforts of a team of people from HCAP, CIC, and several independent professionals with whom HCAP contracted for specific services.</p> 253 254 _cicblankline_ 255 <i>Advisory committee</i> 256 257 <p><b>Thomas C.

This has many advantages, including seamless search integration and the ability to instantly change the look and feel of the site. Search indexes and browsing structures are also precomputed, for quick browsing and searching.</p> 357 358 <p>The CIC Historic Campus Architecture Project collection uses two purpose-built plugins to process the project data files. One plugin processes the Microsoft Access database used to store the data from the survey, generating a Greenstone "object" for each of the institutions, places, designers and references. It also generates small (thumbnail), medium, and large versions of each place image, and the site "browse" pages. The second plugin processes the Microsoft Word file containing bibliographic references not associated with particular places in the database.</p> 359 360 <p>As well as having highly-customized document importing programs, the CIC HCAP collection has a completely customized design and user interface. This was implemented using Greenstone's formatting and macro languages, with over 120 new or customized macros.
