====Historic American Engineering Record====
Recognizing a similar fragility in the national industrial and engineering heritage, the NPS, the Library of Congress and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) formed the HAER program in 1969, to document nationally and regionally significant engineering and industrial sites. Later, HAER was ratified by the [[American Society of Mechanical Engineers]] (ASME), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the [[American Institute of Chemical Engineers]] (AIChE) and the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). HAER documentation, in the forms of measured and interpretive drawings, large-format photographs and written histories, is archivally preserved in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, where it is readily available to the public.<ref>National Park Service Almanac, Edited and Compiled by Ben Moffett and Vickie Carson, Rocky Mountain Region – Public Affairs, 1994</ref>

'''Historic American Landscapes Survey'''

With the growing vitality of landscape history, preservation and management, proper recognition for historic American landscape documentation must be addressed. In response to this need, the [[American Society of Landscape Architects]] Historic Preservation Professional Interest Group worked with the National Park Service to establish a national program. Hence, in October 2000 the National Park Service permanently established the [[Historic American Landscapes Survey]] (HALS) program for the systematic documentation of historic American landscapes.<ref>{{cite web |title=About HALS {{!}} HABS/HAER/HALS |url=https://www.nps.gov/hdp/hals/ |access-date=2022-11-08 |website=National Park Service |archive-date=November 8, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108112028/https://www.nps.gov/hdp/hals/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
