HALS HEROES - A NEW INITIATIVE
The Northern California Chapter of the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) is initiating a new program to promote the documentation of California's cultural landscapes. We are offering $1000 stipends to chapter members, and other qualified persons, to prepare HALS documents.
How the Program Works
- Any qualified person (HALS Hero) can submit a proposal to document a site anywhere in California. Apply to the Chair or Vice Chair (chapter leadership) or attend a quarterly meeting and apply.
- If the site meets HALS criteria and is approved by the chapter leadership, the HALS Hero will have 9 months to complete the documentation and submit it to the chapter leadership.
- The chapter leadership will review the documentation and if complete will award the stipend.
- If incomplete they will review the submitted material and return for editing within an additional 3 months. Documents must be completed within a total of 12 months.
Minimum Documentation Requirements
- Materials must comply with the NPS HALS Guidelines.
- Documentation to include one or more sheets of drawings showing the name and location of the site, a plan view drawing, plant list, features key, location map, other sketches or sections needed to convey the character of the landscape, and a statement of significance including acknowledgments.
The HALS drawing for the Fleming Garden is an example.
- The plan may be hand drawn, or done in CAD or other program accepted by the Guidelines.
