THE PROGRAMME 1978–2012; ST. JOSEPH'S REPORT IN PRINT; SHAARD UNQUERIED
This town's buildings stand in the state record because of a survey programme that ran county by county for thirty-four years. From 1978 to 2012, Indiana Landmarks partnered with the Indiana DHPA to conduct the Indiana Historic Sites and Structures Inventory, completing 85 of 92 counties with a printed report per county; the record of the survey is the Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD), maintained by DHPA, to which the DHPA's own registers page directs all listing checks. The St. Joseph County report exists and is in print — Indiana Landmarks lists "St. Joseph," "St. Joseph–Mishawaka," and "St. Joseph–South Bend" among its reports — and the county volume is the survey of record for this town's buildings (the Commercial District nomination carries survey numbers on its face). Its dating stands in conflict, whole (C121): a bibliography listing carries Kiemnic, Karen L., Indiana historic sites & structures inventory, St. Joseph County (1985), and the state library's 1986 cumulative checklist carries the county inventory's "Summary report" among documents received in 1986; a recent-publications listing in the Indiana Magazine of History carries St. Joseph County: Interim Report (Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, 2006). Whether the 2006 interim report is a re-survey, a re-issue, or the county report's first full publication after a 1985 summary is not settled by any carrier reached; both datings stand, with the report itself and SHAARD as settlers. For completeness, and to prevent importation: the City of South Bend's own inventory line (its 1981 summary report; its 2007 interim report; 6,597 sites entered from survey work begun in 2005) is the city of South Bend's, and none of it surveyed North Liberty. SHAARD itself was not directly queried or any earlier one; every survey-number, state-register, and county-report question in this section routes to it as settler, and the item stands in the note as residue.
