Projects & Presentations

This section includes presentations I have made for the annual Alaska Surveying and Mapping Conference, the International Right of Way Association as well as internal training events. I have also prepared project related research papers and other informational summaries on issues that I found to be of interest.

As of 4/28/22, the Projects & Presentations section includes 42 projects with more than 4,700 PDF files. Note that this just a subset of my complete archives as I am generally restricting my uploads to PDF files as opposed to AutoCad & COGO files.  In an effort to keep the file size below 10mb, I have compressed, reduced resolution, split and occasionally deleted those that exceed that limit.  Where a project includes a large collection of recorded plats, those may not be uploaded as they are available from the Recorder's Office website.  I believe that I have included most of the relevant files and likely far more than will be of interest to most viewers. As I draw upon a common library of references, you will find duplicates of copied over several projects. Where I have included an email, I occasionally will redact names and addresses in order to avoid burdening my contacts with further questions.   The Projects & Presentations link summary below lists presentations & reports by year and subject title.  Once these have all been added, I will continue to add miscellaneous document collections by category.
