[Arches] Re: Other Arches live installations

[sara . cruz]

Greetings from Los Angeles,

We are excited to begin work on our migration to v4 in the very near 
future. HistoricPlacesLA, the City of Los Angeles’ Arches installation, is 
going to greatly benefit from the v3-v4 migration workflow Adam mentioned 
in his post.

In 2018 the Office of Historic Resources, which manages HistoricPlacesLA 
and provides technical expertise to the Los Angeles Department of City 
Planning regarding historic resources, has witnessed an increase in use of 
the data housed within HistoricPlacesLA and datasets soon to be part of the 
v4 installation. This data includes information pertaining to designated 
historic resources, surveyed historic resources, and resources identified 
as significant in relation to multiple ethnic/cultural communities within 
the city of Los Angeles.

As the Los Angeles Department of City Planning begins work on updating nine 
new community plans that guide the evolution and future development of 
hundreds of unique neighborhoods in the city, historic resources data is 
being utilized by planners to understand whole communities while also 
informing the vision for these neighborhoods into the future. The data is 
currently assisting in the creation of conservation tools that elevate 
community character, encompassing both architecturally and culturally 
significant historic resources.

We look forward to sharing more of Los Angeles’ progress with 
HistoricPlacesLA and the many ways our inventory is informing local 
planning and the conservation of historic resources.

Happy New Year!
Sara Delgadillo Cruz

[Arches] Re: Is Arches useful to manage heritage or just to describe and visualize

[sara . cruz]

Hello from the City of Los Angeles, Marc.


Our ARCHES customization, HistoricPlacesLA 
, is the management system through 
which we administer the findings from SurveyLA 
, Los Angeles’ citywide historic 
resources survey, as well as the city's designated resources. At this 
moment we are in the process of finalizing the migration of all our survey 
data into the system. We have already begun to use the system as the 
primary source of information for historic resources. HistoricPlacesLA 
 will be where we keep records as 
properties are altered and/or formally listed as landmarks. New data and 
information resources, like images, reports and nomination applications, 
will append the initial data collected through SurveyLA. HistoricPlacesLA 
 will be the main resource for city 
planning staff and the public to review the status of historic resources in 
the City of Los Angeles. Furthermore, in the near future we aim to utilize 
the system as Dennis described, to track case work, communications, and 
property inspections. Our ARCHES implementation will serve as the platform 
through which we manage most, if not all, of the city’s preservation 
programs, which includes a landmark nomination process as well as a 
contractual property tax incentive program.


For another example of ARCHES as a property management system, you may want 
to explore the customization of ARCHES for the Armed Forces Retirement Home 
in Washington, D.C. The implementation has been titled AFRH IRIS 
. Besides consolidating, describing, and 
visualizing resources AFRH IRIS  is also 
utilized to track ongoing property management and compliance activities.


I hope this additional information if helpful,

[Arches] Re: Signing in

[sara . cruz]

Hello everyone,

 

I’ve recently joined the Office of Historic Resources for the City of Los 
Angeles, California. In the near future I’ll be managing the 
HistoricPlacesLA.org , an Arches 
implementation that functions as the city’s official Historic Resources 
Inventory.

 

My background is in architecture/planning and I have a graduate degree in 
historic preservation. Though I have not managed a database or implemented 
Arches before, I have experience working with GIS, as well as programs 
utilized for architecture and web design. I am interested and excited about 
the many ways Arches will help connect our departments and the public to 
important information about our diverse historic resources. Surveying our 
large city has been a large undertaking that we expect to completed in 
2017. As you can imagine, we are eager to publish all of the data collected 
from our SurveyLA  efforts. I'm 
excited to join the group, I am sure it will be of great help, especially 
as we brainstorm the many ways the data could be used to better serve our 
public.

 

I work out of Los Angeles City Hall, through the windows in our office I 
can see a sunny downtown Los Angeles skyline as well as the DWP General 
Office Building (John Ferraro Building) 
 
which happens to be Los Angeles’ Historic Cultural Monument #1022. 


Best,

Sara Delgadillo Cruz
