• CHRIS, California Historic Resources Information System, includes the statewide Historical Resources Inventory (HRI) database maintained by OHP and the records maintained and managed, under contract, by twelve independent regional Information Centers (ICs). Students may visit the local center and receive assistance researching their resources. Student in-house research days are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Each student will need to bring UC ID and a letter from your faculty member stating that you are his/her student and working on a project. For more details see the website for the Northwest Information Center http://www.sonoma.edu/nwic/. Individuals and government agencies seeking information on cultural and historical resources should begin their research by contacting the regional Information Center (PDF) which services the county in which the resource is located.

Browser's Guide to Historic Preservation

The University of California, Berkeley, Libraries' collections are arranged according to a subject classification system devised by the Library of Congress. For a detailed listing see the Library of Congress Classification Outline http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/.

The following guide will assist the student who wishes to browse the Environmental Design Library's historic preservation collection. Note that browsing a collection as large as the Environmental Design Library has considerable limitations: users will miss volumes checked out, in remote storage, in other libraries on campus, on the Internet, and in other classifications. Historic preservation materials fall into many classifications, and classifications change over the years, so a thorough search of your subject will require checking the Library catalogs.

If you need help, please be sure to consult an Environmental Design Library reference librarian, 210 Wurster Hall.
