Historic Resources Survey

A Historic Resources Survey is a systematic process used to identify, document, and evaluate sites, buildings, and structures with historical, architectural, or cultural significance in a particular area. This survey helps communities understand their heritage, informs planning and development decisions, and aids in the preservation of important landmarks. By collecting data on these resources, the survey supports efforts to protect them and ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from their historical context. Such surveys are often conducted by local governments or preservation organizations and play a vital role in heritage conservation.
