The Historic Preservation Division (HPD) of the Department of Natural Resources is Georgia’s State Historic Preservation Office. Our mission is to promote the preservation and use of historic places for a better Georgia.

We have begun the process of updating Georgia's state historic preservation plan, a document that establishes state preservation priorities and policies to guide our preservation efforts during the next five years. As part of the planning process we are soliciting input to help set our goals and priorities and to develop a plan that will be effective and useful to us, the preservation community and stakeholders who use our services. Please take a few minutes to answer this questionnaire.
