For what its worth....
When we do "big" projects (excavation, large scale surveys etc.) we often
produce two reports. The first is the technical document that has site
locations, legal information, significance. That is the report for the SHPO,
agencies and reviewers. If our client/agenies are agreeable we might take our
detailed historic context or site history with references and send it to the
local museum or research library where we did historical research for their
collection. They love local history information. Sometimes we take the overall
report, remove all site locational or sensitive data and send that report to
the libraries/museums. It depends on the sensitivity of the project how much
information is released (and always with approval from clients or the
agency).
We do so much local history research and writing it seems a shame not to get
it back out to the public one way or another, since many projects are funded
with public money. This is our solution. As far as grey literature going
out to other archaeologists, that is a harder issue to resolve and I welcome any
good solution!
