The document summarizes how Oneida County put survey records and maps online with no budget by organizing data files, uploading PDFs to their regional planning commission's website, creating search forms using PHP and MySQL, and developing a website for public access. Over 3,000-5,000 people visit the site each month to search and view survey records and maps. The project showed that a low-cost online records system can be achieved with open source tools and hosting assistance from partners.
