The National Register of Historic Places and the California Register of Historic Resources What is the California Register of Historic Resources?
The State Historical Resources Commission has designed this program for use by state and local agencies, private groups and citizens to identify, evaluate, register and protect California’s historical resources. The Register is the authoritative guide to the state’s significant historical and archeological resources. The California Register program encourages public recognition and protection of resources of architectural, historical, archeological and cultural significance, identifies historical resources for state and local planning purposes, determines eligibility for state historic preservation grant funding and affords certain protections under the California Environmental Quality Act. For a copy of the California Register criteria, please call the Planning Department.
