What's New
The City of San Diego is now using the California Historical Resources Inventory Database (CHRID) for the management of information related to the City’s historical resources. The home page for the San Diego CHRID is http://sandiego.cfwebtools.com/. This database includes information about historical resources that have been designated or listed on the National Register and resources that have been identified as part of a community plan update historical survey. In addition, the Register of Historical Resources will be maintained and posted as a link on this page. We encourage the public’s use of this data. If you have questions or find errors, please contact staff at historicalresources@sandiego.gov.
