Folks,
May is historic preservation month, and many states planned celebratory
events. As the month is not quite over, I thought it appropriate to call
to your attention Georgetown University Law Library's DC Historic
Preservation Law Project, the web site for which is at
http://www.ll.georgetown.edu/histpres/
Georgetown is publishing on the web the decisions of the Mayor's Agent
for Historic Preservation of the District of Columbia. These decisions
issued by the Mayor's Agent had not been published anywhere until now.
Current decisions are being transmitted electronically to the law library,
where they are converted to HTML and PDF formats and put on a web server.
Older decisions have been scanned and made available in PDF format, and
attempts are being made to fill in gaps in the collection.
Very basic searching is available now, but indexes to the collection of
decisions are being created and will be made available in phase two of
the project.
There are also pages of web links relating to historic preservation law.
We invite you to take a look, and to pass the web address along to faculty
members who may be teaching historic preservation, to state offices, and
to other interested parties.
