In October 2000 the National Park Service permanently established the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) program for the systematic documentation of historic American landscapes. The HALS program is overseen by the National Park Services with technical guidance from ASLA. Completed HALS are stored at the Library of Congress and available online at www.loc.gov.

Historic landscapes are special places. They are important landscapes in Hawaii of national, regional, and local significance. For the benefit of future generations, it is important to document Hawaii‘s historic landscapes. Participate in documenting Hawaii‘s landscapes.
