NADB is a "database of databases."

NADB-Reports is an expanded bibliographic inventory of approximately 240,000 reports on archeological planning and investigation, mostly of limited circulation. This "gray literature" represents a large portion of the primary information available on archeological sites in the U.S. The last update occurred in November 1997 when some 110,000 reports were added to the database. NADB-Reports can be queried by state, county, worktype, cultural affiliation, keyword, material, year of publication, title, and author.

NADB-NAGPRA provides the full text of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act, up-to-date information on regulations and guidance, and summaries of inventory and repatriation activities. Divided into five document categories, any one of the more than 200 records can be downloaded.

NADB-MAPS (Multiple Attribute PresentationSystem) is a graphical application which contains a variety of maps (GIS) showing national distributions of cultural and environmental resources across the U.S. by state and county levels.

Updated information and new data modules are added to NADB on a regular basis.

The NADB network is maintained through a cooperative agreement between NPS and the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST) at the University of Arkansas. NPS works in partnership with federal, state, tribal, and local government agencies, professional societies, and educational and scientific organizations to help gather information and keep the NADB modules current. This site has also benefitted from the assistance of the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers.
