Survey Components - Part I
<br />The two major survey components for Paris listed and elaborated below
<br />were developed in accordance with guidelines developed by the Federal
<br />government for state historic plans and will provide the most useful and
<br />comprehensive survey and planning approach.
<br />1. Historical Analysis
<br />An essential aspect of a survey and planning study is a concise, yet
<br />thorough, analysis of the forces that shaped Paris and an account
<br />of the general development of the community, including not only
<br />its very early history but recent history as well. Beyond the usual
<br />political history of the community, the historical analysis, gathered
<br />through historical research in Paris and at the State level, will
<br />consider underlying themes which combined to give Paris its own
<br />individual character.
<br />2. The Inventory
<br />The inventory consists of information compiled on specific places
<br />relating to the general themes described in the Historical Analysis.
<br />A. Areas to be surveyed and inventoried:
<br />To help insure that all aspects of past development and all
