DATABASE PURPOSE

Fieldguide gathers data about U.S. public monuments and memorials – their stories, design, setting, themes and demography. After abstracting and compiling, the data reside in a database and are available for research and education purposes as well as personal use. As visitors likely have different needs, interests or knowledge, the user may choose from three available databases – the Abbreviated, Extended or Complete.

Soon, the website will provide data analysis and other features about U.S monument-making. Questions or comments are welcomed.
