MACRIS Record Details Screen
The top of the screen for a Record Detail will list the type of record and the MHCID. Underneath that will be the Historical name. Two buttons on this screen will return you to your search results or to the MACRIS Home screen. Neither button will remove your current search filters.
If there is a photo is available for this record, it will appear in the upper right corner of this screen. Click on the photo to open a larger version, which can be printed or downloaded by clicking on the image. Continuing to click on the larger photo will zoom in.
Directly below the photo is a link to MACRIS Maps, which will open in a new tab.
If there is a PDF file of a record's Inventory form available, there will be a blue INV icon 
next to the MHC ID. Click on that INV icon to download the inventory form.
National Register nominations are indicated with a red NR icon 
if they are available in PDF format. Click on the NR icon to download the nomination.
If there is no inventory form for the record, but additional information is to be found in another record, a row will be added to the Record Details table, and link to that record will appear next to Cross Reference. Click on the MHC ID in the Cross Reference row to replace the current Record Details screen with the additional Record Details.
If this record is in one or more Areas, the Areas will be listed towards the bottom of the screen under Areas. Click on The MHC ID for this Area to replace the current Record details screen with information for that Area's Record Details. If there is a PDF of the Area's inventory form or National Register nomination available, click on the icon to download the inventory form or nomination.
To see a complete list of resources within an Historic Inventory Area, click the link at the bottom of the Record Details screen for that Area, e.g. 29 Historic Resources within ABI.F.
To export the list of resources within an Inventory Area, at the top right of the expanded list, click PDF to download results in a PDF format and Excel to download results as a spreadsheet.
