HISTORICAL PLANNING SERVICES
CCRG's historical planning services were developed to provide preservation planning for the full range of cultural resource management projects. CCRG's multidisciplinary preservation professionals offer expertise in history, architecture and architectural history, cultural landscapes, traditional cultural properties, folklore, and planning. A sample of CCRG's historical planning services includes: Historic Overview Studies By providing valuable information about an area's history, overview studies are an important tool used to guide historic fieldwork and documentation. CCRG's historians go beyond merely documenting history, but rather use historical research to develop contexts and formulate research questions about such issues as social dynamics, agricultural patterns, and urban/industrial development. Above-Ground Resources Surveys Above-ground resources surveys identify and document historic buildings and structures, cultural landscapes, and traditional properties that might be affected by project activities. CCRG's architectural historians, historians, and anthropologists are experienced in identifying and evaluating a wide variety of above-ground resources throughout urban, suburban, and rural environments. Specialized Structure Assessments and Documentation CCRG offers its clients services designed to identify, document, and assess the engineering and technical signifigance of all types of specialized structures. These services take advantage of our staff's unique expertise in recording and evaluating structures such as bridges, piers, and hydroelectric facilities. Historic District Delineation Historic districts are often conceived as a group of buildings that are similar in architectural style. While this is a common way to define a historic district, it is by no means the only one. CCRG's historians and architectural historians are trained to consider not only architectural similarity, but also complex patterns, such as ethnic settlement and cultural landscapes, when identifying historic districts, delineating their boundaries, and documenting the resources comprising them. Visual Impact Assessments Construction projects can result in impacts to historic properties that are not immediately obvious. CCRG offers clients the services of cultural resources professionals who are experienced in assessing visual impacts, illustrating those impacts, and developing plans to mitigate visual impacts to historic properties. National Register of Historic Places Evaluations and Nominations The National Register's exacting set of criteria for listing demands advanced research and reporting skills to successfully conduct evaluations and nominations. CCRG's project teams provide clients with the expertise necessary to assess properties for listing on the National Register, complete National Register nominations, and coordinate state and federal reviews.
