HDP capture historic sites via measured drawings, large-format photographs, and historical reports; these records live in the Library of Congress and are made publicly accessible. The Heritage Documentation Programs operate under the National Park Service as part of its Cultural Resources, Partnerships, and Science Directorate; HDP include the Historic American Buildings Survey and Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) to document historic sites and structures.
