The CLR is intended to inform the management and interpretation of the Immigration Station landscape. The CLR documents the significance of the site, noting change over time, and provides a preservation strategy for the treatment and long-term management of the landscape. In total, this CLR consists of three volumes, which describes the site’s history, provides an inventory and analysis of existing conditions and landscape significance, and recommends treatment actions consistent with historic preservation principles. The National Park Service has identified the Cultural Landscape Report as the primary guide for treatment and use of a cultural landscape. With reference to appropriate historical contexts, a CLR documents and evaluates landscape features and qualities that make a property eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. A CLR typically analyzes a landscape’s geographical setting, development and evolution, materials, construction techniques, and use in all periods, including those deemed not significant. Drawing upon many disciplines, a CLR documents, analyzes, and evaluates historical, architectural, archeological, ethnographic, horticultural, landscape architectural, engineering, and ecological data as appropriate. It makes recommendations for treatment work consisten with the landscape’s condition and use, following the Secretaty of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. CLR Volume 1: Site History provides a chronological description of the physical development of the Angel Island Immigration Station landscape. It is based on historical research and field observations necessary to support a description of the events, trends and activities that shaped the landscape over time. For the Immigration Station site, Volume 1 is comprised of six chapters corresponding to distinct periods in the development of the property. In addition to narrative history, each chapter contains historic photographs, a summary description of the landscape, and an illustrative plan showing the appearance of the landscape at a particular point in time, based on documentay sources and physical evidence
