Responsibility for submitting reports to the MSSHPO rests with a project's lead agency or its designee. All reports submitted to the MSSHPO for review should be printed on 8.5" X 11" paper, however, foldout maps are permissible.
One (1) copy of a draft report (two [2] if standing structures are documented) is/are to be submitted for review and must be marked "DRAFT." Draft reports, along with an agency cover letter requesting comment or appropriate Project Review Form, should be forwarded to the MSSHPO at:
Mailing Address:
Mississippi Department of Archives and History
Historic Preservation Division
Attn: Review and Compliance Officer
P.O Box 571

Shipping Address (FedEx or USPS only):

Upon receipt, the MSSHPO will review the draft report. Any minor changes will be requested via email. Major changes will be requested via formal letter. The MSSHPO may also require additional copies for outside (peer) review. Outside reviewers are persons who have demonstrated a research interest or expertise that pertains to the report's content.
The MSSHPO requests, when possible, that a GIS shapefile (.shp) and all accompanying data files (e.g., .sbn, .dbf, .prj, .sbx, and .shx) be submitted for project area boundaries and resource locations with all submitted reports. This information can be obtained by the use of hand held Global Position System (GPS) receivers. Currently, all the SHPO GIS data is projected in NAD_1927.
