Documented and Candidate Landscapes
INVENTORY LIST
This inventory list is a searchable spreadsheet of documented sites and potential candidates for HALS documentation in northern California. You can search by name, city, county, and other criteria.
The list of potential sites was initially compiled by volunteers in 2004 and has been updated by the NorCal HALS Liaison annually. If you have documented a site, or are interested in documenting a site on this list, please email the NorCal HALS Liaison to ensure there is no duplication of efforts and so the project list is updated.
DOCUMENTING SITES FOR LEVELS I TO IV
Secretary of Interior Standards for HALS documentation includes three official levels: I – III. The short-report format is informally referred to as Level IV which is the minimum required documentation for a donation to the collection. Please refer to the NPS standards < for additional information on documentation standards.
For greater detail on levels, please see https://www.nps.gov/hdp/standards/index.htm
