PDF Archives - DOT&PF NR ROW Engineering Research Archives - 2003

The "PDF Archives" is a collection of documents relating to highway rights of way, title, acquisition, property management issues and related information.  The documents include internal email and memos, AG opinions, court judgements, as well as private writings and those of other agencies.



But first a little background... I was hired as the DOT&PF Northern Region ROW Engineer and started work on October 26, 1986.  Although my position title was "Engineer", I was the first to be hired in that position with a minimum requirement that the candidate be an Alaska licensed professional land surveyor.  As I started work I found the most advanced computational equipment in the office consisted of the HP 97 desktop calculator.  The administrative staff had a couple of the old IBM Displaywriters for correspondence and other document production.  I felt the ROW "Engineering" office was a bit under powered as I had just moved from a private consulting firm where we had HP desktop computers running PacSoft COGO software.



Just a couple of months prior to joining DOT, I had purchased my first desktop computer.  It was a "Leading Edge Model D" 80286. I believe it had a 20mb hard drive, 640kb of RAM and a 13" amber monitor and it cost me $2,009.95!  But I hated the idea of being held hostage by the admin priorities when I wanted to get my correspondence typed up.  So in joining the State as a professional, I also provided the first personal computer to the NR ROW offices.  It made me feel good to bring a little bit of technology to my employer although it would be pretty much unheard of in current times. I continued to provide a computer for my office use at least into 1989 and upgraded to a Zeos 286-16, a color monitor, printer and high resolution graphics card.



I realized that once I had the opportunity and technology, I needed to scan and OCR the masses of ROW research documents that I found around the NR Offices.  It was too much to absorb by reading alone and so my objective was to scan this information so it could be researched by querying the digital archives.  This batch of "PDF Archives" consisting of 416 files in 40 folders was organized and logged into spreadsheet in 2003.



One caveat that I have previously mentioned is that you may find duplicates in other project or subject matter pages on this  website due to the manner in which I have collected and organized the files.  But that's OK as you might find a better copy among the duplicates you find!  Also note that the table below is a bit different than the standard tables I use elsewhere in the site.  That is due to my attempt to convert the 2003 spreadsheet into an html table without having to re-enter all of the data.
