Update (Jan. 28, 2021) – State Parks is reopening campground sites for existing reservation holders. The department will be using a phased approach to reopen other campground sites for new reservations, starting January 28. The public is advised that not all campground sites will reopen to the public and group campsites remain closed. Day use outdoor areas of park units currently open to the public remain open. It is critical for all to recreate responsibly in the outdoors as the pandemic is far from over. Lastly, all visitors are strongly encouraged to protect themselves and their loved ones by properly planning their outdoor experience. Learn more at www.parks.ca.gov/FlattenTheCurve.
Welcome to the OHP!
The California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) administers federally and state mandated historic preservation programs to further the identification, evaluation, registration, and protection of California's irreplaceable resources.

Important Updates
In recognition of the continuing COVID-19 situation, we are providing updated submission guidance to address the challenges agencies may be encountering in sending hard-copy submittals to our office during the statewide stay-at-home order.
Additionally, due to evolving circumstances related to COVID-19 policies at the various universities where CHRIS Information Centers (ICs) are located, IC clients should contact the appropriate IC to inquire as to how to submit records search requests and how and when such requests may be fulfilled.
Finally, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Built Environment Resources Directory (BERD). This online data source lists California properties by county and provides information regarding cultural, non-archaeological resources that have been processed through the OHP. This includes resources reviewed for eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places and the California Historical Landmarks programs through federal and state environmental compliance laws, and resources nominated under federal and state registration programs.
