This website was made possible through a generous grant from the Historic St. Augustine Research Institute (HSARI) to the City of St. Augustine's Archaeology Program Division. The Research Institute is collaboration between Flagler College and the University of Florida. It is supported by grants from the St. Augustine Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization affiliated with Flagler College. The Research Institute brings together scholars of diverse backgrounds and interests to encourage, coordinate, and disseminate active academic research related to the history, archaeology and historical architecture of St. Augustine, Florida. The intent of this research is to provide support for historic preservation efforts within the city.

The City's Archaeology Program would not be possible without the support of the City Commission and Administration. Our municipal government is committed to preserving St. Augustine's archaeological heritage from the destructive forces of urbanization through its Archaeological Preservation Ordinance. Toward this end, both broadcast and print media support has been a vital component in the dissemination of information within the community and engendering public awareness and cooperation. This cooperation is evident in both the interest property owners have shown while an excavation project is in progress and by the actions of community residents who volunteer their time to assist the City's Archaeology Program.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the following: Dr. James Cusick, Research Associate from SARI, for the idea of a city archaeology website and assisting in the preparation of the grant application; Old City Web Services for their continued interest and professionalism throughout the process of development; and to Clara Waldhari who reviewed and edited website content.
