The Los Angeles Office of Historic Resources (OHR) has partnered with the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) to create and launch HistoricPlacesLA: Los Angeles Historic Resources Inventory, the “first online information and management system specifically created to help inventory, map, describe, and protect Los Angeles’ significant cultural resources.”
HistoricPlacesLA is published through Arches, a open-source geospatial software system for cultural heritage inventory and management. The software allows searches for specific buildings or browsing by themes and neighborhoods. The inventory itself is still in progress and community residents and organizations are encouraged to contribute information.
