This is the repository for Inventories and Surveys for Heritage Management: Lessons for the Digital Age, by David Myers and Janet Hansen. This digital book was first published July 30, 2024, by the Getty Conservation Institute. It is available online at https://www.getty.edu/publications/inventories-and-surveys/ and may be downloaded there free of charge in multiple formats.
A critical first step in the conservation of cultural heritage is to identify and understand the places we want to protect. Inventories and surveys are essential tools in this effort, and their use in managing national, regional, and local heritage is mandated in heritage-related legislation across the globe. Despite the widespread understanding of the importance of inventories and surveys, practical, up-to-date guidance on how they should be created, implemented, and maintained has been substantially lacking—until now.
This publication draws from the Getty Conservation Institute's ongoing work with heritage inventories and the Los Angeles Office of Historic Resources’ experience with SurveyLA. It provides technical advice, guidance, and lessons learned for employing inventories and surveys as tools for heritage conservation and management.
This is one in series of multiformat publications using Quire™, Getty’s free and open-source multiformat publishing tool.
We are dedicated to maintaining this publication for years to come at the permanent URL, https://www.getty.edu/publications/inventories-and-surveys/, and in its various formats and incarnations. For any updates to the book, we will be following something between an app and traditional book publication model. Updates will only be made in regulated chunks as formal revisions and new editions and will always be thoroughly documented here in the repository, as well as in the revision history included with each of the book’s many formats.
The primary content pieces of the book can be found in the content
directory. The main
branch represents the current, published edition at all times, and the revisions
branch, when present, will show changes currently under consideration. We invite you to submit suggestions or corrections via pull request on the revisions branch, by posting an issue, or by emailing us at [email protected].
