Phase 2 Surveys in Progress!

The OHR is in the second phase of SurveyLA field surveys. Professional survey teams are in the following Community Plan Areas: Brentwood-Pacific Palisades; Bel Air-Beverly Crest; and Westchester-Playa del Rey (see Phasing Plan). Reports of survey findings have been published for the following phase 2 survey areas: Sherman Oaks-Studio City-Toluca Lake-Cahuenga Pass; North Hollywood-Valley Village; Encino-Tarzana and Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills.

The survey teams are working through these areas using a custom-designed survey database and digitial cameras. They are recording individual resources and potential historic districts which are significant for architecture as well as social and cultural associations. To learn about SurveyLA field experiences read the SurveyLA blog at http://surveyla.wordpress.com.

If there are places in your neighborhood that you want to make sure the survey teams evaluate it's never too late! Please complete a MyHistoricLA form and/or provide us with your research as soon as possible. You can also share your places at MyHistoricLA.org, our interactive "virtual town hall". To organize a broad-based effort to identify important resources in your community see MyHistoricLA: Guide to Public Participation in SurveyLA.
