Component Three: Survey
In 2005, the Los Angeles City Council adopted several measures that authorized funding and staff to undertake a comprehensive, citywide historic resource survey. The Getty, through the Getty Foundation, entered into an agreement with the city to provide financial support to the city over five years to underwrite a portion of the survey costs. As the city reaches key milestones, the Getty will match the city's financial commitment to the survey. The GCI will continue to provide technical assistance to the city through a combination of consultants and research.

The city's Office of Historic Resources, in the Department of City Planning, will be responsible for directing the citywide survey. A team of historic preservation consultants and historians, led by the firm of Jones and Stokes, has been selected by the Office of Historic Resources and the GCI to undertake the initial phase of survey project. This phase includes a citywide Historic Context Statement, as well as a Field Guide to Survey Evaluation.

The GCI has completed and published the Los Angeles Historic Resource Survey Bibliography on the GCI Project Bibliographies Web site.
