City of Arcata Historical Resources Survey, Inventory & History Talks
Client: City of Arcata, CA., 2012-2013
This multifaceted project updated a survey conducted in 1972, and expanded the historic context from the 1930s into mid-century modernism and the first post WWII subdivisions constructed in Humboldt County. Ms. Guerra and Ms. Doniger conducted a series of public history talks that introduced new architectural styles and concepts such as cultural landscapes. The project research incorporated the digitization of old forms and records, now a part of the planning department database, and the production of a comprehensive architectural design guide. For an understanding of what are cultural landscapes, see the following powerpoint developed by Suzanne Guerra for the City of Arcata, Arcata Historic Sites Society and Special Collections at Humboldt State University: http://library.humboldt.edu/humco/holdings/slideshow1/
