Mississippi Historic Resources Inventory online database
Mississippi Historic Resources Inventory online database. Historic Preservation Division, Mississippi Department of Archives and History
The Historic Resources Inventory database (HRI) is a compendium of information about Mississippi’s landmarks and architecture. Begun in 1998, the database is the product of architectural historians’ ongoing research and analysis of the thousands of design-related historical documents, photographs, newspaper clippings, blueprints, drawings, and other media. The HRI database is a supplement to the Historic Resources Inventory paper files managed by MDAH’s Historic Preservation Division. The paper file system contains over 40,000 files and includes files pertaining to individual buildings, historic districts, and artisans and a vertical subject file on topics relevant to the building trades and architectural profession. The database offers only the most basic information, such as construction date, architect, builder, National Register listing, and Mississippi Landmark designation. Funding was provided in part by Historic Preservation Fund grants administered by the Mississippi State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
