ONLINE RESOURCES FOR COLORADO ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION
In 2018, PCRG launched the next generation of archaeological research in Colorado. Online Resources for Colorado Archaeology and Historic Preservation (ORCA) is an open-access platform designed to support research, cultural resources management, and public education in Colorado archaeology. The site features a research library, a compendium of links to online resources, and tools for online communication and collaboration. A core component of the site in a new refereed journal called Reviews in Colorado Archaeology, which publishes authoritative and critical reviews, original research, and thematic contexts.
