Your Old Barn Study

Are you a barn Owner? We would love your barn to become part of our Barn Study. No matter the condition, we love them all!
Before you Begin the Your Old Barn Study…
Before you enter the Your Old Barn Study (YOBS) questionnaire on your computer, we suggest you go to your barn first to collect the information you require to answer the questions. A summary of the information needed is contained in the Checklist below. Print and take the Checklist with you to the barn as a guide to collecting and recording the barn information.
We suggest taking the following items to the barn: paper/notebook and a pen/pencil, a camera (cell phone camera is adequate), flashlight for low light places in the barn e.g. granary, and a measuring tape (25 foot works well) or laser measuring app on your cell phone. A compass will help with getting the orientation of the barn if you don’t have access to Google Earth. Also, having someone to assist with recording information and observation of barn details is helpful.
There are No mandatory fields to answer. However, we strongly recommend completing the Barn Owner name and a method of contact (email or phone number), as well as the location of the barn with at least one of the barn address, GPS Coordinates, or historical lot/concession/township/county.
Important: Any data collected through Your Old Barn Study will not be used for the heritage designation of any barn. All personal information submitted will be kept confidential and will not be used or shared with anyone outside OBP without prior participant consent. Personal information includes barn owner’s name and contact information, and barn address or GPS coordinates.
If you have any questions or concerns about Your Old Barn Study, please contact your OBP Regional Representative.
Here is a checklist of things you need to get started.

You can download a paper copy of the questionnaire if your wifi isn’t great in the barn. You will still need to input the information yourself at your computer after you collect it. Print with caution, its a lot of pages!
