SurveyLA Updates

Welcome to the Office of Historic Resources web site for SurveyLA: The Los Angeles Historic Resources Survey.

Pilot surveys for SurveyLA will be launched in May of 2008 and continue throughout the year. The surveys will lay the foundation for the successful completion of the citywide field surveys during the three-year Implementation Phase of SurveyLA, which starts in 2009.

The OHR is beginning a public participation and outreach program for the SurveyLA Pilot Survey program. Community participation and input in SurveyLA is critical to its success.

The City of Los Angeles has been awarded its first-ever Certified Local Government (CLG) grant from the State of California’s Office of Historic Preservation.

The Office of Historic Resources and the Getty Conservation Institute have selected a team of historic preservation consultants and historians, led by the Los Angeles office of the firm Jones and Stokes, to spearhead the most significant work product in the first phase of SurveyLA: a Citywide Historic Context Statement and a Field Guide to Survey Evaluation.
