It is the intention of the NASS Register to list every significant sundial on the North American continent. We have a good head start, but there are many dials yet to be recorded, and we have had some problems along the way.

    During a change of database software some information was lost and we now feel it would be best to update the information on every dial. You can to help by visiting the dials in your area and sending in the on-line or printable data entry forms. As each dial is updated the indication:  (Updated mm-yy)  will be placed after the number in the listing to indicate that we have complete data for that dial.

    Some dials may not exist any more. Please report if you cannot verify them, or if they have moved or otherwise changed.

    The on-line Register is intended as a dial-hunter's guide, and includes only basic descriptions of dials that have reasonable access. The database itself contains more details on each dial as can be seen on the data entry forms.

    Over 370 of the 510+ dials include photos which can be viewed by clicking the Photo link. Clicking on the photo itself will return you to the text for that dial.

    NASS members who are interested in the more complete information contained in the database can contact the Registrar.

    Go dial hunting! Visit the dials in your area or as you travel, and send us your updates and discoveries. We need your input and we like surprises!
