See Detailed Description section for shelf locations. HISTORICAL NOTE

The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) was established in 1933 by the National Park Service (NPS) to create a lasting archive of America's historic architecture.

In 1934 the NPS entered into an agreement with the Library of Congress and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as cosponsors of the HABS program. Under this agreement the NPS administers the operations of HABS with funds appropriated by Congress and supplemented by donations from individuals, foundations, historical organizations, and other local, state and federal agencies. The NPS sets qualitative standards and directs the preparation of records to be placed in the Library of Congress. The AIA provided professional counsel.

HABS operates under congressional authority from the Historic Sites Act of 1935. HABS projects include the creation of measured drawings, written histories, and large-format photographs.

The Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) was established in 1969 as a companion program to document structures of technological and engineering significance.

The program documents America's industrial, maritime and engineering history, and produces measured and interpretive drawings, historical reports, and large format photographs of significant sites nationwide. This information is housed and maintained in the HABS/HAER collection at the Library of Congress, where it is made available to the general public, students, and scholars.

The Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) coordinates many HABS/HAER projects in the state, particularly those involving historically-significant properties scheduled for demolition.

 SCOPE AND CONTENTS

The collection consists of project files, which include photographs, architectural drawings, project reports, microfiche, correspondence, and miscellaneous papers. Correspondents and authors include consulting historians and historical research firms, University of Minnesota architecture students and faculty, the Minnesota Historical Society and its State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Minnesota Department of Transportation, and the National Park Service. Alpha-numeric cross-references on some documents refer to SHPO Review and Compliance files.

A set of architectural and engineering drawings of the Minneapolis Stone Arch Bridge, prepared by the Minneapolis Union Railway Company and by the Great Northern Railway Company, documents the construction of the structure and subsequent repairs and modifications.

The records also include blueline diazo copies of architectural drawings of forty-two historic buildings and properties in Minnesota, prepared in 1934 for the Historic American Buildings Survey, and an accompanying set of photographs for seventeen of those properties and two others.
