This open-access publication provides essential guidance on digital inventories and surveys for the identification, conservation, and management of heritage places.
A critical first step in the conservation of cultural heritage is to identify and understand the places we want to protect. Inventories and surveys are essential tools in this effort, and their use in managing national, regional, and local heritage is mandated in heritage-related legislation across the globe. Despite the widespread understanding of the importance of inventories and surveys, however, practical, up-to-date guidance on how they should be created, implemented, and maintained has been substantially lacking—until now.
This publication draws from the Getty Conservation Institute’s ongoing work with heritage inventories over more than two decades, on the Los Angeles Office of Historic Resources’ experience with SurveyLA, as well as from the experience of other international contributors.
