SF Cultural Heritage lets you share and explore the important places, people, organizations, events, and traditions that have shaped San Francisco's diverse communities.

SF Cultural Heritage is an online information management platform created specifically for the San Francisco Citywide Cultural Resources Survey (SF Survey). This website is a tool that highlights the interconnections of San Francisco's cultural heritage and shares SF Survey findings. Find out more about SF Survey.

SF Cultural Heritage is the result of a partnership between the San Francisco Planning Department and the Getty Conservation Institute, with the assistance of Farallon Geographics. It is powered by Arches, an open-source heritage data management platform developed by the Getty Conservation Institute and the World Monuments Fund. Find out more about Arches.

Draft SF Survey Findings

SF Survey findings help standardize historic resource review processes for future building permit applications, environmental review, development projects, and area plans. Outcomes also include identifying sites that are eligible for California Historical Building Code, legacy business registry, tax benefits, and/ or local landmarking.
