The four student architects, Steve England, University of Clncinattl; Patrick Burkhardt, North Dakota State University, Stephen Smith, University of Utah and Greg Steinbeck, University of Arkansas. These teams have the responsibility of measuring the complete site, or building, eventually coming up with a rerles of drawings, floor plans and elevations of the building or site. They also obtain a complete history of the site. They then go back to the University of Utah to the drafting room, which has been allegated to the team, and draw structures on permanent plastic drafting material. When the team is completed they turn their findings into the HABS where it is proofread and checked for any discreptancy or conflict. It is then forwarded to the Library of Congress where it becomes part of the records of historical growth and development. The state adds this building to the Utah Heritage Foundation and makes prints of the project which can be obtained at a minimal cost. Also there is a Utah Catalog published by Utah Historical Foundation which includes these historical places. The book is used as a textbook to many classes at the U of U on architectural history courses but only includes places registered up to the year 1967-68. Plans are being made to update the book in 1976 and make the book available (or distribution.
