HABS/HAER Documentations
Historic American Building Survey
Historic American Engineering Record
The National Park Service (NPS) HABS/HAER program documents important architectural, engineering and industrial sites with measured drawings,
large-format photographs and a written history.
HABS was created by NPS in 1933 as make-work program for architects, draftsmen and photographers
jobless during the Great Depression. HAER was established in 1969 to document significant engineering and industrial sites.
